Soul Echoes ‎#32

32. Travelers to the Heavenly World

1. We are a band of strangers,
Traveling thro' this world of dangers,
And if Jesus leads the army,
We will surely gain the day.

Keep your garments pure
Unspotted from the world.
Keep your garments pure
Unspotted from the world.

2. In the midst of tribulation,
We rejoice in free salvation,
And to every land and nation,
We are bound to tell the news.

Keep your lamps bright and burning
And your vessels filled with oil.
Keep your lamps bright and burning
And your vessels filled with oil.

3. We are poor and much forsaken,
But our faith has not been shaken,
And we cannot be mistaken,
For the Word of God is true.

Ev'ry one shall have deliverance
That is written in His book.
Ev'ry one shall have deliverance
That is written in His book.

4. We are taught to love each other,
And as one should treat a brother,
We must do by one another,
'Till the Master comes again.

You must have the love of Jesus
Or you cannot see His face.
You must have the love of Jesus
Or you cannot see His face.

5. In the resurrection morning,
You shall see the judge a coming,
And the sons of God a shouting
In the Kingdom of the Lord.

Every eye shall behold Him
When He comes to Judge the world.
Every eye shall behold Him
When He comes to Judge the world.
