There are loved ones gone before Us,
Who in that bright world high DER u.s.
Loudly swell the heavenly chorus,
And Jesus name adore
Far away from earth, benighted,
Where often hope ia blighted,
Now with God and saints united,
They rest for evermore.
CHoRUs-In the fair fields of Eden,
In the fair fields Of Eden,
la the fair fields OF Eden,
At rest for evertaore.
It was hard indeed to sever,
For well meet again here never.
But they now are blest for ever.
They have gained the great reward.
Why then should their absence grieye Us,
For in triumph they did leave Us,
And now. waiting to receive rs,
They are happy with the Lord!
In the fair fields of Eden, etc.
Bye and bye we'll go and meet them;
On that blissful shore we'll greet them,
Aud our joys it will complete them,
To meet no more to roam!
Then let time be onward driven,
Let all earthly ties be riven.
And let praise to God be given.
For we are Fastening home
To the fair fields of Eden, etc.
To rest for evermore.
Sinners hear the invitation.
It's proclaimed to every nation,
Here is free and fnll salvation
For all the fallen race!
Come with all your quilts oppression,
Come to Christ and make confession,
Turn, believe, and gain possession
OF his redeeming grace.
In the fair fields of Eden. etc.
