Representative Text

1 There’s a beautiful home
Far beyond the starry sky,
Christ has gone to prepare over there.
I shall dwell in that home
In the sweet by and by;
How I long, how I long to be there!

Refrain:
Then I’ll sing, sweetly sing,
In the mansions where the blest never die;
Then I’ll sing, sweetly sing,
In that home in the sweet by and by.

2 There I’ll sing with the angels
Of Moses and the Lamb;
While the ages eternally fly;
For the Lord will be there
With the saved from every land,
In that home in the sweet by and by. [Refrain]

3 I will dwell in that home
With the loved ones gone before,
And with them all its blessedness share;
And forever the Savior
Of sinners adore,
And be happy and blest over there. [Refrain]
