Jesus, ev'ry day more sure;
keep me under your direction,
till I, through almighty pow'r,
unto endless glory raised
in your mansions shall be placed,
when in you I end my race,
weeping shall forever cease.
2 Amen, yea, my lasting praises,
Jesus, unto you are giv'n,
that a place by you prepared
is for me secured in heav'n;
blessed my case, O truly blessed,
when to heav'nly glory raised,
I from pain and sorrow free
in your presence safe shall be. Topics: Death and Life to Come; Consecration; Life to Come Scripture: 2 Peter 1:10 Used With Tune: ZURICH
