Beqinninu AGAIN.

Lies a land of hidden beauty
Where earths lost ideals repose.
| There-my grief shall be forgotten
All my heartache and my pain.
In new pathways | shall wander
In That Land, begin again.
There springs life in its rich fullness.
Fount of all earths garnefed tears
There thousand years but one day,
And day thousand years.
Splendor lies upon its hilltopS,-
And no dream-is dreamed in vain,-
All | longed to bel shall be
In That Land begin again.
When | enter its great doorway
| shall find hearts-love of yore;-
And my burdens dixie a Pilgrim
Leave outside this minister door.
My mistakes, my sins, my failures,
All that | could not explain
God will ndeTstand-and let me
In That Land, begin again.
