[00:01.09]I have letters from my father
[00:07.03]In my hand in my hand
[00:09.97]
[00:10.57]Written by my elder brother
[00:15.60]
[00:16.28]They are grand they are grand
[00:19.64]
[00:20.54]They were written over the sea
[00:24.69]And were forward onto me
[00:28.23]
[00:28.80]I'm as happy as I can be
[00:33.77]
[00:34.34]In this land in this land
[00:38.23]I'm as happy as I can be
[00:44.71]In this land
[00:46.06]
[00:46.82]Father told me in his letters
[00:51.57]That are grand that are grand
[00:54.56]
[00:55.09]I could make myself much better
[01:00.51]In this land in this land
[01:03.62]
[01:04.31]Then I cried "What shall I do "
[01:09.09]For I had not read them through
[01:12.42]
[01:13.07]And they made me all a-new
[01:18.57]
[01:19.10]In this land in this land
[01:22.11]
[01:22.67]And they made me all a-new
[01:27.76]
[01:29.23]In this land
[01:30.54]
[01:31.40]I am sanctified and happy
[01:36.04]In my heart in my heart
[01:38.61]
[01:39.25]For the blood of Jesus cleanses
[01:43.19]Every part every part
[01:46.15]
[01:46.89]I have lost my carnal mind
[01:51.21]Doubts and fears I've left behind
[01:54.20]
[01:54.78]And a comforter I find
[02:00.06]
[02:00.70]In my heart in my heart
[02:04.10]
[02:04.88]I am now a new creation
[02:11.10]
[02:11.69]In this land in this land
[02:14.70]
[02:15.36]They don't know my situation
[02:19.91]It is grand it is grand
[02:23.25]
[02:23.88]All this world is dark as night
[02:28.06]But my father's face is bright
[02:31.10]
[02:31.72]And I'm walking in the light
[02:35.71]
[02:36.36]Through this land through this land
[02:39.15]
[02:39.67]And I'm walking in the light
[02:44.85]Through this land
[02:46.30]
[02:47.92]I am not afraid of dying
[02:52.35]In this land in this land
[02:54.82]
[02:55.47]But I often feel like flying
[03:00.02]Oh how grand oh how grand
[03:03.39]
[03:04.08]I will sing and shout and pray
[03:08.00]And My Master's voice obey
[03:11.14]
[03:11.67]And my soul can hardly stay
[03:16.68]In this land In this land
[03:19.52]
[03:20.22]And my soul can hardly stay
[03:25.60]In this land
[03:27.08]
[03:27.76]Death is called a dreadful monster
[03:32.58]In this land in this land
[03:35.30]
[03:35.84]When he calls I will not answer
[03:40.43]
[03:41.01]Oh how grand oh how grand
[03:44.68]
[03:45.24]I may leave most any day
[03:50.11]All they'll find is empty clay
[03:53.20]And I wonder what they'll say
[03:56.99]
[03:57.56]In this land in this land
[04:01.15]And I wonder what they'll say
[04:06.26]
[04:06.79]In this land
