104. An Heir to a Throne

1 An heir to a throne am I,
In the kingdom of God on high;
For we shall be kings and be priests, we are told,
In his palace, on thrones of Gold,
In his palace, on thrones of Gold.

2 For joy let my spirit sing!
I’m a child of a royal King,
And soon shall inherit a kingdom above,
In the land of eternal love,
In the land of eternal love.

3 How can I express my joy?
O my soul, all thy pow’rs employ,
The wonderful love of the Lord to make known,
Thro’ whose soul-cleansing blood alone,
I’m an heir to a royal throne.

4 Let me live as becomes a son
Of the high and the holy One!
My life—be it such that to all may be known,
I’m the child of a King, his own,
And an heir to a heav’nly throne.
