16381. I'm An Heir

1 I’m an heir with the Son of God,
Saved from sin by His cleans­ing blood,
And my name is re­cord­ed
With the re­deemed on high;
Pain and sor­row I here may know,
Life but lit­tle of wealth be­stow,
But there’s glad­ness un­end­ing
Waiting me by and by.

Refrain:
I’m an heir, joint heir with Christ,
To the home so bright and fair;
I’m an heir, His blood suf­ficed,
And I’m go­ing e’er long
Its glo­ries for aye to share!

2 I’m an heir, and it cheers my soul,
Tho’ the thun­ders around me roll,
For my Father is watch­ing
Over me day by day;
Nothing ev­er my hope can dim,
For in faith I am trust­ing Him,
And He ten­der­ly guides and
Blesses me all the way. [Refrain]

3 I’m an heir to the home ab­ove,
Thro’ my Savior’s re­deem­ing love,
Since my par­don He free­ly
Purchased on Cal­va­ry;
By His change­less eter­nal grace,
I’m ac­cord­ed with Him a place,
Where, ’mid plea­sures un­told, I’ll
Dwell thro’ eter­ni­ty. [Refrain]
