Classic Poem

1

There is a land of endless joy
 And everlasting bliss
I knew it when I was a boy
 Twas somewhere upon this
I knew that green and happy place
 A land unknown to sin
Joy beamed in every happy face
 For they were all our kin

2

Jews christian turks and gentle kind
 Possest that place above
Redeemed by Gods unbiased mind
 And everlasting love
Some tuned their harps some sung their songs
 Angelic women there
In infant worship all day long
 Was fairest of the fair

3

They told me God the land possesed
 The bushes trees and flowers
That every soul there on was blest
 And all its joy was ours
That God they hummed there spirits joy
 Was both the king and prince
 I saw it when a little boy
  But never found it since
