1. We’re bound for the land of the pure and the holy,
The home of the happy, and kingdom of love;
Ye wanderers from God, in the broad road of folly,
O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain
Will you go, will you go,
will you go, will you go?
O say, will you go to the Eden above?
2. In that blessed land, neither sighing nor anguish
Can breathe in the fields where the glorified rove;
Ye heart-burdened ones, who in misery languish,
O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain
3. Nor fraud, nor deceit, nor the hand of oppression,
Can injure the dwellers in that holy grove;
No wickedness there, not a shade of transgression;
O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain
4. No poverty there, no, the saints are all wealthy,
The heirs of His glory whose nature is love;
No sickness can reach them, that country is healthy;
O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain
5. And yet, guilty sinner, we would not forsake thee,
We halt yet a moment as onward we move;
O, come to thy Lord! In His arms He will take thee,
And bear thee along to the Eden above.
Refrain
Hymnal #: 368
Instruments: Guitars
Time: 1:48
Acts 4:7
This song is a blessing to me will you go?
Yes Lord I will go
I remember my mom singing this song. That’s how my siblings and I learned the majority of the hymns we now sing. I have also been able to teach my children some of those hymns and it is an absolute blessing to hear them say that these are the songs they go back to when they feel down or in need of a closer connection with God. I love the meaningful sentiments embodied in them, the comfort and promises they give and remind us of.
God is absolutely GOOD!!
