These are the lryics to "Gloryland" as sung by Waterson-Carthy (and really, why would you sing it any other way? They sound, as Brit slang would have it, well-good!):

There is a land beyond the stars
Gloryland bright Gloryland
Beyond the sunset's crimson bars
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland
Land of peace without alloy
Joy beyond all earthly joy
Naught its calm can e'er destroy
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland

The city of our God is there
Gloryland bright Gloryland
Jasper walls with beauty fair
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland
Gates of pearl like silver gleam
Skies with fadeless sunlight beam
Through it rolls life's crystal stream
Gloryland bright Gloryland

We life our eyes by faith and see
Gloryland bright Gloryland
Christ Himself the light shall be
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland
Songs of praise glad hearts shall sing
The radiant air with music ring
Each voice proclaim the Savior-King
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland

There is a land beyond the stars
Gloryland bright Gloryland
Beyond the sunset's crimson bars
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland
Land of peace without alloy
Joy beyond all earthly joy
Naught its calm can e'er destroy
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland
Naught its calm can e'er destroy
Oh Gloryland bright Gloryland.

Chorus:
There's a land beyond the stars
Where no mortal man has trod
A city that my eyes have never seen
The more I think of leaving
The more I want to go
To that land beyond the stars

Brother John and St. Peter
Loved the Lord with all their hearts,
Here I am, so small but I do too
Should I fail to make my journey
Doesn't mean that you will too
You've got to make it
To that land beyond the stars

Repeat Chorus twice.

from the CD

1)There is a land beyond the stars
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
Yonder sun sets crimson far?-sounds like it ends with 's', maybe bars, but since we are 'beyond the stars' wouldn't the sun be 'far'?
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
Land of Peace without alloy
Joy beyond all earthly joy
Naught its calm can e'er destroy
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland.
__________

2)The City of our GOD is there,
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
Jasper walls with beauty fair
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland.
Gates of Pearl bright silver gleam
Skies with (fay?) the sunlight beam-that's exactly what it sounds like
Through it flows life's crystal stream
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
___________

3)We lift our eyes By Faith and see
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland,
Christ Himself the Light shall be
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
Songs of praise the heart shall sing
The radiant air with music ring, each
voice proclaim our Saviour-King
Oh Gloryland, Bright Gloryland

nearly there but still a couple of mysteries

Kind regards
Doug

I'm looking for this also

it is track 17 on Waterson:Carthy's Topic CD
'Holy Heathens and The Old Green Man' - TSCD562

another web page lists it in a consolidated index of
'Sacred Songs and Solos', 'Hymns and Solos' and 'The Christian Choir'

guess I'll be mooching round the second hand bookshops
