For Jesus said, I will prepare The child of God a mansion fair; O may I have a dwelling there, Far away, far away. 2 Then let the storm, the storm be wild and long; Jesus loves, Jesus loves, And this shall be, shall be my daily song:-- Jesus loves, Jesus loves, He loves, He loves, I know, I feel, Young as I am, He loves me still; O may I do his blessed will; Jesus loves, Jesus loves. 3 And then at home, at home I soon shall be, Far away, far away, From care and pain, from pain shall soon be free-- Far away, far away. There tears of grief are never known, In that bright world I call my own; And swiftly I am passing on, Far away, far away. Used With Tune: FAR AWAY
