Author: Rev. J. H. Cooper Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #106 (1893) First Line: Who shall abide in thy church on earth Refrain First Line: They that are washed in that fountain of grace Lyrics: 1 Who shall abide in thy church on earth?
Who shall taste of that heav’nly birth?
Who shall give honor to Jesus our King?
Who with the saints in glory sing?
Refrain:
They that are washed in that fountain of grace,
They shall have part in that heavenly place;
They that to Jesus for pardon have fled,
All that receive him who rose from the dead.
2 Who will tell of the wondrous grace,
Jesus hath shown to this mortal race?
Who the glad tidings of peace shall proclaim,
Joyful tidings in Jesus’ name. [Refrain]
3 Who shall abide in that home above?
Who shall sing of redeeming love?
Who there in glory forever shall stay?
Who upon harps of gold shall play? [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 13:23 Tune Title: [Who shall abide in thy church on earth]
Who Shall Abide?
