Light in the Valley ‎#72

72. Eternity's Shore

1 There's a mansion just over the river,
Which my Saviour's preparing for me;
And I know I shall rest forever,
When I've cross'd o'er the dark, narrow sea;
And I know I shall meet many lov'd ones,
Who have cross'd the dark waters before;
And the Saviour I'll see in His glory,
When I land on Eternity's shore.

Refrain:
When I land on Eternity's shore,
When I land on Eternity's shore;
Yes, the Saviour I'll see in His glory,
When I land on eternity's shore.

2 In that mansion just over the river,
Where the saints of all ages repose;
There the Lamb is resplendent forever,
For the light of His purity glows;
O I'm longing, and watching, and waiting,
And my heart yearns to go, more and more;
Ah! what joy and what rapture will greet me,
When I land on Eternity's shore. [Refrain]

3 When the journey of life is completed,
When its toil and its warfare is done;
When the light of its day is recedeing,
And I bask in its last setting sun;
Then dear Jesus, I pray Thee prepare me,
That to mansions of bliss I may soar;
And to Thee will I give all the glory,
When I land on Eternity's shore. [Refrain]
