Representative Text

1 He will sweetly sing on the golden shore,
Where all is joy and gladness;
Forevermore with Christ we’ll reign,
Released from care and sadness.

Refrain:
Then along the way, the Lord’s highway,
With voices clear and ringing,
We’ll shout hosanna as we go,
And enter Zion singing.

2 We are sure our Father knows all our need,
Each heartache, pain, and sorrow;
So in His hand we’ll leave it all,
And trust Him for the morrow. [Refrain]

3 We will sing of Jesus, our Saviour-King,
Whose wondrous love is o’er us;
Who guides our footsteps, lest they stray,
And makes all plain before us. [Refrain]

4 We will sing of heaven,—our home above,
With all its joy and glory;
And to the world, where’er we go,
We’ll tell salvation’s story. [Refrain]
