The Bright Array ‎#112

112. Homes for the Children

1 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing,
Homes where the lilies bloom, fadeless and fair;
Homes by the river where the angels are weaving,
Garlands of beauty for the bright ones there.

Refrain:
Homes for the children, in mansions eternal,
Shining in glory on the heavenly shore;
Now they are happy ‘mid beauty ever vernal,
They are with Jesus, and forevermore.

2 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing,
Homes in the Eden Land, brighter than day;
Homes where the children with the angels are dwelling,
Children as beautiful and fair as they. [Refrain]

3 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing;
Safe in the fold of God, naught shall they fear;
These are my jewels that I love, saith the Saviour,
They shall be with me in my glory here. [Refrain]
