1 A home with Jesus, my Savior,
Who died on the cross for me;
To dwell in His kingdom forever,
Forever with Jesus to be.
To reign with the Savior in glory,
When all our wanderings cease,
He has gone to prepare a mansion,
A home and a kingdom of peace.
Choru:
A home, happy home,
From cares and sorrows set free;
A home in the kingdom of glory,
Forever with Jesus to be.
2 We have but a glimpse of that mansion,
While pilgrims we walk below;
To that home where the dear ones shall gather,
That kingdom where Christians shall go.
But sweet is the stream ever flowing,
From the fountain of joy over there;
Blessed Savior, each day, oh, prepare me,
That rest and that mansion to share. [Chorus]
3 Here hearts once united are severed,
Here partings and tears obtain;
But all who are true to the Savior,
Shall meet on that heavenly plain.
Oh, sweet is this glorious prospect,
That we from all pain shall be free;
The hope of a blest resurrection,
Forever with Jesus to be. [Chorus]
