Melodies of Love ‎#31

31. Christian Graces

1 Will the Master, when He cometh, From His lofty throne above;
Find in me the humble servant, Ever trusting in His love?

Refrain:
Only by my faithful service, Christian graces have fulfilled,
Shall I see those shining portals, As the blessed Father wills.

2 When He comes in shining glory, With the mighty angel band;
Shall I be the living story, Given by His mighty hand? [Refrain]

3 Will my work of faith and duty, Lift me where my eyes shall see;
Saints in robes of wondrous beauty, Gathered by the crystal sea? [Refrain]

4 Shall I walk beside the river, With the martyrd saints of old;
Shall I dwell with them forever, In that city built of gold? [Refrain]

5 "Come, ye blessed of my Father," Shall I hear the Savior say;
"Enter into life eternal, Where there's never ending day?" [Refrain]
