Far away is a land

Where there will be no more heartache

All the pain will be gone over there

And with the Lord I'll be living

Upon the streets of glory

Far away from this old troublesome world

 

 

I have tasted the tear drops that have fell on my pillow

And I have tasted the goodness of the Lord

And now I long for the day when He calls me to meet him

Far away from this old troublesome world

 

 

I have stood by the bedside of my loved ones

I have heard them groan from the burdens they carry and say

It won't be long till  Jesus will come and take me 

Far away from this old troublesome world
