WHERE, OH WHERE, are the Hebrew children,
Where, oh where, are the Hebrew children,
Who were cast in the furnace of fire?
Safe now in the Promised Land.

Chorus:

By and by we'll go home to meet them,
By and by we'll go home to meet them,
By and by we'll go home to meet them
Way o'er the Promised Land.

Where, oh where, is the good Elijah,
Where, oh where, is the good Elijah,
Who went up in a chariot of fire?
Safe now in the Promised Land.

Where, oh where, is the prophet Daniel,
Where, oh where, is the prophet Daniel,
Who was cast in the den of lions?
Safe now in the Promised Land.

Where, oh where, is the weeping Mary,
Where, oh where, is the weeping Mary,
Who was first at the tomb of Jesus?
Safe now in the Promised Land.

Where, oh where, is the martyred Stephen,
Where, oh where, is the martyred Stephen,
Who was stoned for his love of Jesus?
Safe now in the Promised Land.

Where, oh where, is the Blessed Jesus,
Where, oh where, is the Blessed Jesus,
Who was pierced on the mount of Calvary?
Safe now in the Promised Land.
