12823. How Sweet

1 How sweet will be the rest,
When life is o’er,
With Jesus and the blest,
Forevermore.

Refrain:
How sweet, how sweet to dwell
In Heaven above,
And ever, ever, tell
Of Jesus’ love.

2 How sweet ’twill be to live
Where angels sing;
And all our praises give
To Christ our king. [Refrain]

3 How sweet ’twill be to know
Our work is done;
And over every foe,
The victory’s won. [Refrain]
