The Silver Chime ‎#38

38. A Light in the Window

1 There’s a light in the window for thee, brother,
There’s a light in the window for thee;
A dear one has moved to the mansions above,
There’s a light in the window for thee.

Chorus:
A mansion in heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee;
A mansion in heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.

2 There’s a crown, and a robe, and a palm, brother,
When from toil and from care you are free,
The Saviour has gone to prepare you a home,
With a light in the window for thee. [Chorus]

3 O watch, and be faithful, and pray, brother,
All your journey o’er life’s troubled sea,
Though afflictions assail you, and storms beat severe,
There’s a light in the window for thee. [Chorus]

4 Then on, perseveringly on, brother,
Till from conflict and suffering free,
Bright angels now beckon you over the stream,
There’s a light in the window for thee. [Chorus]
