LyicsIn that world of ancient story,
Where no storms can ever come,
where the Saviour dwells in glory,
There remains for us a home.
CHORUS.
Happy home, happy home,
Jesus bids his foll'wers come,
To that land of bliss and glory,
Our happy, happy home.
There within the heavenly mansions,
Where life's river flows so clear,
We shall see our blessed Saviour,
If we love and serve him here.
There with holy angels dwelling,
Where the ransomed wander free,
Jesus' praises over 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.
