=============
His own soft hand shall wipe the tears from ev’ry weeping eye,
and pains and groans and griefs and fears and death itself shall die.
Oh, the transporting rapt’rous scene that rises to my sight;
Sweet fields arrayed in living green and rivers of delight.
No chilling wind nor pois’nous breath can reach that healthful shore.
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more.
Oh, the transporting rapt’rous scene that rises to my sight;
Sweet fields arrayed in living green and rivers of delight.
