There is a land beyond the stars
Gloryland, O, Gloryland (refrain)

Here is a site that includes Ira Sankey's bio and a list of his songs with lyrics. Maybe you can find it here....

Nope...for some reason, Cyberhymnal (which usually has everything) doesn't have this. But here are the lyrics you need:

1.
There is a land beyond the stars
Gloryland, bright Gloryland
Beyond the sunset's crimson bars
Gloryland, bright Gloryland
A land of peace without alloy
Of joy beyond all earthly joy
And naught its calm can e'er destroy
Gloryland, bright Gloryland!

2.
The city of our God is there,
Gloryland, bright Gloryland
Its jasper walls with beauty fair
Gloryland, bright Gloryland.
Its gates of pearl like silver gleam
Its skies with fadeless sunlight beam
And through it flows life's crystal stream
Gloryland, bright Gloryland!

3.
We lift our eyes by faith and see
Gloryland, bright Gloryland,
Where Christ Himself the light shall be
Gloryland, Bright Gloryland
There songs of praise glad hearts shall sing
The radiant air with music ring
Each voice proclaim our Saviour King
Gloryland, bright Gloryland!

Hope it helps. God bless!
Steve

What is the title of this song? I have a copy of Sankey's HymnBook, "Gospel Songs, Vol 1-6", from 1894. (I am not sure of the exact title of the HymnBook.)
I am not acquainted with this song.
