When We Reach the Glory Land

What a wonderful Savior is Jesus,
Who suffered with nail-pierced hand;
O yes, ’twill be heaven to see Him,
When we reach the glory land.

Refrain

When we reach the glory land,
When we reach the glory land,
We’ll walk and we’ll talk with the Savior
When we reach the glory land.

O the Savior is calling the sinner,
To join with that glorious band
Of saved who will praise Him forever,
When we reach the glory land.

Refrain

In the glorious, wonderful city,
Where Jesus shall have command,
We’ll dwell with the Savior forever,
When we reach the glory land.
