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

And every bough is heavy with fruit

(Ooh)

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

(Ooh)

Joy and exaltation when I see my Lord

There's a choir and congregation

(Ooh)

Ooh, how sweet the sound

But laughter too is everywhere

Grey faces are not found

Hallelujah's rise up

(Hallelujah)

From a whisper to a roar

(Hallelujah)

On a far celestial shore

(Ooh)

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

(Hallelujah)

From a whisper to a roar

(Hallelujah)

On a far celestial shore

On a far, far celestial shore

On a far celestial shore
