Lyrics

Verse 1
O they tell me of a home far be­yond the skies, (II Cor. 5:1, John 14:2-3)
O they tell me of a home far away; (Isa. 33:17, Heb. 11:13-16)
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an un­cloud­ed day. (Isa. 60:19-20, Rev. 21:23, Rev. 22:4-5)

Chorus
O the land of cloud­less day,
O the land of an un­cloud­ed day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an un­cloud­ed day. (Isa. 60:19-20, Rev. 21:23, Rev. 22:4-5)

Verse 2
O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone, (I Thess. 4:13-17)
O they tell me of that land far away, (Isa. 33:17)
Where the tree of life in eter­nal bloom (Ezek. 47:12, Rev. 22:1-2, Rev. 2:7)
Sheds its frag­rance through the un­cloud­ed day.

Verse 3
O they tell me of a king in His beau­ty there, (Isa. 33:17)
And they tell me that mine eyes shall be­hold (Job 19:25-27, Rev. 22:4, I Cor. 13:12, I John 3:2)
Where He sits on the throne that is whit­er than snow, (Rev. 20:11, Rev. 22:3)
In the ci­ty that is made of gold. (Rev. 21:18)

Verse 4
O they tell me that He smiles on His child­ren there,
And His smile drives their sor­rows all away; (Rev. 21:4)
And they tell me that no tears ev­er come again (Isa. 25:8, Rev. 7:14, Rev. 21:4)
In that love­ly land of un­cloud­ed day.
