60. Is My Name Written There?

1 Lord, I care not for riches,
Neither silver nor gold;
I would make sure of heaven,
I would enter the fold.
In the book of Thy kingdom
With its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior,
Is my name written there?

Refrain:
Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Is my name written there?

2 Lord, my sins they are many,
Like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior,
Is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written,
In bright letters that glow,
“Tho' your sins be as scarlet,
I will make them like snow.” [Refrain]

3 O that beautiful city
With its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings
In pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh
To despoil what is fair,
Where the angels are watching,
Yes, my name’s written there.

Refrain:
Yes, my name's written there,
On the page white and fair.
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Yes, my name's written there.
