Lyics

In that world of ancient story,

Where no storms can ever come,

Where the Savior dwells in glory,

There remains for us a home.



There within the heavenly mansions,

Where life's river flows so clear,

We shall see our blessed Savior,

If we love and serve him here.



There with holy angels dwelling,

Where the ransomed wander free,

Jesus' praises ever telling,

Sing we through eternity.



There amid the shining numbers,

All our toils and labors o'er,

Where the Guardian never slumbers,

We shall dwell for evermore.
