LyicsI HAVE a home above,
From sin and sorrow free;
A mansion which eternal love
Designed and formed for me.
My Father's gracious hand
Has built this sweet abode;
From everlasting it was planned-
My dwelling-place with God.
My Saviour's precious blood
Has made my title sure;
He passed thro' death's dark, raging flood
To make my rest secure.
The Comforter has come,
The earnest has been given;
He leads me onward to the home
Reserved for me in heaven.
