The people of God who had fled 

From the tyrant's cruel command, 

By God had been faithfully led, 

Safe across the dry, arid sand, 

With eyes that were constantly turned 

To the distant land of God's Word 

The land for which every tribe yearned, 

Where no cry of pain would be heard. 

We come land of our hope 

Though hard be the journey and long 

We come land of our hope, 

We know that to you we belong 

We come land of our hope, 

Our hearts over flowing with song 

We come land of our hope, we come! 

Weighed down by the sorrows of earth, 

See the nations look for the light, 

A thirst for the joys of true worth, 

For unending peace and delight, 

O where is the land that can fill 

The desires that burn in the heart? 

The true Church of God is the home 

That alone this joy can impart. 

Released from the bondage of sin, 

We now freely join in the march, 

Our Saviour shall help us to win 

What has been the goal of our search. 

Our home is God's heaven above 

To which every soul he will send 

If honest in faith and in love, 

We have followed Christ to the end.
