LyicsThere is a glorious home on high,
Resplendent with eternal day;
Faith views the blissful prospect nigh,
While God's own Word reveals the way.
There shall the servants of the Lord
With never fading luster shine;
Surprising honor! Vast reward!
Conferred on men by love divine.
Rescued from that destructive way,
Where erring folly thoughtless roves;
The heavenly virtue they display,
Which Jesus taught and God approves.
The shining firmament shall fade,
And sparkling stars resign their light;
But these shall know no change nor shade-
Forever fair, forever bright.
On wings of faith and strong desire,
O, may our spirits daily rise!
And reach at last the shining choir
In the bright mansions of the skies.
