I know of a land	A
Where hair does not grey and where time s rule is banned	A
Where sun does not burn and where wave does not ring	B
Where autumn embraces the blossoming spring	B
Where morning and evening unceasingly dance	C
In noon s brightest glance	C
	-
Oh wonderful land	A
Where glass does not run full of tear drops as sand	A
Where nothing is wanting that s worth holding dear	D
Where that does not lack which so pained us back here	E
With breast filled with longing we seek ever more	F
Your sweet smiling shore	F
	-
Oh long promised land	A
We greet you in morning hour s mirror clear strand	A
When perfect your shadow the child may espy	G
And dreams that in green woods is where you must lie	H
Where too it can share with the rushes and flowers	I
Its smile and its hours	I
	-
Oh transient dream	J
Of island eternal in time s rushing stream	J
Of joy s sacred temple in life s vale of tears	K
Of life half divine in this hall s mortal years	L
The land of the living with you melts away	M
From those made of clay	M
	-
Oh hope dashing dream	J
You glittering bubble on time s rushing stream	J
In vain would the poet with voice and with pen	N
From bright gleaming shadows create you again	N
Where shadow comes closest the small will all weep	O
Who on it gaze deep	O
	-
Oh spell binding dream	J
Of pearl that s eternal in time s rushing stream	J
You fool those poor persons who all seek in vain	P
In image and art what the heart would retain	P
And make them call lasting what just disappears	L
Like days months and years	L
	-
Oh spirit of love	Q
Your hand let me kiss reaching down from above	Q
From heaven s fair skies to this earth s murky hold	R
And touching our eyes with its fingers of gold	R
So blue tinged there climbs behind surf roaring strand	A
The wonderful land	A
	-
Oh heavenly name	S
Whose sacred embrace does our nature inflame	S
So spirit can mingle with dust without grief	T
And bring back to life every dead withered leaf	T
Oh deep in my clay let me fall on my knee	G
So God may see me	G
	-
Oh faith beyond bliss	U
Whose high vaulted bridge spans the gaping abyss	U
When drifting ice threatens in surf roaring strand	A
From poor mortal dwelling to far promised land	A
Come farther down to me you high honoured guest	V
That pleases you best	V
	-
Oh hope fleet of wing	B
Oh brother reborn through divine christening	B
For all journeys made to the land o er the sea	G
Good tidings and comfort you ve lavished on me	G
May I ever thank you so joy is in store	F
When hope is no more	F
	-
Oh love perfect love	Q
Quiet source of fierce torrents that mightily move	W
He calls you his father who ransoms our plight	X
Your spirit all soul s vital force does ignite	X
Your kingdom is there where man death does defy	H
May us it be nigh	H
	-
Our father sublime	Y
You willingly reign in earth s temple of grime	Y
Who builds up the spirit in Jesu s sweet name	S
In human embrace with an altar aflame	S
With heaven bright dwelling of faith dearly won	Z
For you and your son	Z
	-
Oh Christian faith sweet	A2
You grant every heart what the world cannot greet	A2
What barely we glimpse while our eye is still blue	B2
Is living within us we know this is true	B2
Both heaven and earth are my land life confides	C2
Where love e er resides	C2
