Author: R. F. L. Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #19 (1901) First Line: How oft there comes to me the tho't Refrain First Line: Tho' all unworthy of His grace Lyrics: 1 How oft there comes to me the thought
That soon life’s work will all be wrought,
And then, with Jesus, I will be
In that blest place prepared for me.
Refrain:
Though all unworthy of His grace,
He hath for me prepared a place,
He saved me and He’ll make me meet
To enter Heav’n and there my God to greet.
2 The glories of that blessed place
Inspire me to pursue my race;
The loved ones waiting over there
But urge me on their joys to share. [Refrain]
3 On earth, there’s no abiding thing;
But there, eternal praise will ring.
The wonders of His love and grace,
For e’er shall fill the heavenly place. [Refrain] Tune Title: [How oft there comes to me the tho't]
The Heavenly Place
