That verdant summer land

1. Is thy troubled heart oppressed,
   Heavy-laden, sick and sore,
   By the cares of life distressed?
   Plead His promise o�er and o�er.
   Does thy star of hope grow dim,
   Canst thou face the stormy gale?
   Teach thy heart this sacred hymn:
   �Through His grace I shall prevail.�
   • Refrain:
     Look away across the sea
     To that shining golden strand;
     Then with shouts of victory,
     Firmly clasp His proffered hand;
     Soon thy happy soul shall be
     In that verdant summer land.
2. Is the threat�ning tempest near?
   Beams His promise bright as day;
   Keep it ringing sweet and clear:
   �I�ll be with Thee all the way.�
   When the rolling thunders peal,
   When the billows leap and foam,
   With thy faith His promise seal,
   Singing, �One day nearer home.�
3. When you reach that Eden blest,
   All thy tears He�ll wipe away;
   Sweeter far will be thy rest
   For the vict�ries won today.
   Does the toilsome night seem long?
   Teach thy trusting heart to wait,
   Ere the breaking of the dawn,
   You may reach the pearly gate.
