150. Bright home of our Saviour, what glories await

1 Bright home of our Saviour, what glories await
The spirits that pass thro' thy bright pearly gate;
What anthems of rapture, unceasing and high,
Compose the loud chorus that gladdens the sky!

Refrain:
Home, home! sweet, sweet, home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for yonder blest home.

2 The home that our Saviour has gone to prepare
No heart can conceive of the blessedness there,
Of raptures unending awaiting the just,
When, pure in His likeness, they rise from the dust. [Refrain]

3 We bless Thee, dear Saviour, who call'st us to share
The beautiful home Thou hast gone to prepare;
We trust in Thy mercy, that, washed from our sin,
Through yonder bright gates we may all enter in. [Refrain]
