Tom: C
C/E C F Am
Oh I saw a distant land, and its glory was so grand
F C/E G
I cried oh Lord how I long to be there
F C/E F C F G
Then I heard His gentle voice, “come my child, it is your choice” Oh such hope that I’d never heard before
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am F Dm G
Oh arise, let us run, for the morning light has come And the darkness of the night flies away
F C/E F C Am F G C
He has risen, He has come, and our home He has won Let His glory be seen on you today
[Verse 2]
C/E C F Am F C/E G
Then the way grew dark with care, my heart trembled in despair I turned my eyes to my Lord with a prayer
F C/E F C F G C
Through the dimness of the dawn, deeper truth then I was drawn Oh such hope, even brighter than before!
[Verse 3]
C/E C F Am
There a lonely soul I saw, standing near but yet withdrawn
F C/E G
I bade him come to the land bright and fair
F C/E F C F G C
With hope's glimmer in his eye, to the darkness said goodbye Then we sang, a note higher than before!
