about

Traditional gospel song sung here as an unaccompanied quartette.

lyrics

If you have friends in gloryland
Who’ve left because of pain
Thank God up there, they’ll die no more
They’ll suffer not again.

CHO:
Then weep not friends, I’m going home
Up there we’ll die no more
No coffins will be made up there
No graves on that bright shore.

The lame will walk in Gloryland
The blind up there will see
The deaf in gloryland will hear
The dumb will talk to me.

There’ll be no sun in gloryland
The moon and stars won’t shine
For Christ Himself is light up there
We’ll live on love divine.
