far celestial shore

there's a place i know for certain

i will someday see

when i lay down my burden

and look on galilee

way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war

on a far celestial shore

there's a valley of crystal waters

vines adorn the hill

every bough is heavy with fruit

you can pick your fill

there's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more

on a far celestial shore

and i'll know such jubilation

joy and exaltation when i see my lord

there's a chior and congregation

oooh how sweet the sound

but laughter too is everywhere

grey faces are not found

hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar

on a far celestial shore

way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war

on a far celestial shore

there's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more

on a far celestial shore

hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar

on a far celestial shore

on a far far celestial shore

on a far celestial shore
