Representative Text

1 There are gates of pearl, and a crystal sea,
And streets of gold, we may wander free;
There’s a home of joy, and radiance fair,
That beautiful home, oh, may we share.

Refrain:
May we dwell in that peaceful clime,
And sing on that golden shore,
The praises of Jesus, our Savior,
Who loveth us evermore.

2 There’s a robe of white, and a crown of gold;
There are joys unfading, and pleasures untold;
There’s a sound of harp and heavenly song,
O may we join that glorious throng. [Refrain]

3 There the ransomed dwell in glorious light,
Where comes no pain, where comes no night;
There the weary rest, all wanderings cease;
O may we share in that perfect peace. [Refrain]
