I believe its titled 'Gloryland'. hope this is it. its as i remember it.

If you have friends in gloryland
who've left because of pain
they'll be no pain in gloryland
we'll suffer not again

CHORUS:

so weep not friends, i'm going home
up there we'll die no more
no coffins will be made up there
no graves on that bright shore

the lame in gloryland will walk
the blind up there will see
the deaf in gloryland will hear
the dumb will talk to me

there'll be no sun in gloryland,
the moon and stars won't shine
for Christ Himself is light up there
we'll live off love divine.

as i said, these words are as i recall them. hopefully if anyone else recognizes they can correct any mistakes if there are any. '

i remember hearing this song on the radio as a child when my mom would listen to gospel music, and it was sung without music. it would send chills down your spine. beautiful song....God bless

GLORYLAND

IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN GLORYLAND
WHO'VE LEFT BECAUSE OF PAIN.
THANK GOD UP THERE THEY'LL DIE NO MORE
THEY'LL SUFFER NOT AGAIN.

THE LAME WILL WALK IN GLORYLAND.
THE BLIND UP THERE WILL SEE.
THE DEAF IN GLORYLAND WILL HEAR.
THE DUMB WILL TALK TO ME.

CHORUS
THEN WEEP NOT FRIENDS I'M GOING HOME.
UP THERE WE'LL DIE NO MORE.
NO COFFINS WILL BE MADE UP THERE.
NO GRAVES ON THAT BRIGHT SHORE.

THE DOCTOR WE'LL NOT HAVE TO CALL
THE UNDERTAKER NO.
THERE'LL BE NO PAIN UP THERE TO BEAR.
JUST WALK THE STREETS OF GOLD.

WE'LL NEED NO SUN IN GLORYLAND
THE MOON AND STARS WON'T SHINE.
FOR CHRIST HIMSELF IS LIGHT UP THERE
HE REIGNS WITH LOVE DIVINE.

CHORUS
THEN WEEP NOT FRIENDS I'M GOING HOME.
UP THERE WE'LL DIE NO MORE.
NO COFFINS WILL BE MADE UP THERE.
NO GRAVES ON THAT BRIGHT SHORE.

I am so happy to find these lyrics. My Grandad sang this with no music when I was a child and it still gives me chills to remember it.
