In the Father’s home on high;
Music, earthly ear hath heard not,
Scenes, too bright for mortal eye.
Refrain:
Let us hear the Spirit, whispering,
Of the heav’nly joys to come;
Live by faith in Him who saved us,
Till we reach that glorious home.
2 Loftiest flights of human fancy,
Cannot grasp a single trace;
Of the Heav’n prevailing glory,
Beaming from the Savior’s face. [Refrain]
3 Brighter than the piercing sun rays,
Clearer than the moon’s pure light,
Is the glory, grand, eternal,
Of that land that knows no night. [Refrain] Used With Tune: YUCATÁN Text Sources: Crowning Glory No. 1 by Peter Bilhorn (Chicago: P. Bilhorn, 1890)
