LyicsI seek a place which is out of sight--
A city high up in the skies;
Where, there is my home, all pure and bright,
And homeward my spirit still hies.
[Chorus] I'm bound for home, for my blissful home,
The house and the city above;
And all who forsake their sins may come,
And dwell in that city of love.
I seek a place where they never die,
Where beauty and youth never fade,
Where never is heard the mournful cry,
"My friend, my beloved, is dead!" -CHO.
I seek a place where they sin no more,
Where Satan, my foe, can not lure;
And O, when I reach that blessed shore,
My soul is forever secure. --CHO.
I seek a place where the patriarchs shine,
Apostles, and martyrs, and seers,
Encircled in robes of light divine,
Triumphant o'er sorrow and fears. --CHO.
I seek a place where the Savior reigns,
That Jesus once nailed to the tree;
He purchased that place with blood and pains,
And went to prepare it for me. --CHO.
