I Shall Be No Stranger There

When the pear­ly gates are op­ened

To a sin­ner saved by grace

When thro’ ev­er­last­ing mer­cy

I be­hold my Sav­ior’s face

When I en­ter in the man­sions

Of the ci­ty bright and fair

I shall have a roy­al wel­come

For I’ll be no strang­er there.

I shall be no strang­er there;

Jesus will my place pre­pare;

He will meet me

He will greet me;

I shall be no strang­er there.

Thro’ time’s ev­er chang­ing sea­sons

I am press­ing t’ward the goal;

’Tis my heart’s sweet na­tive coun­try

’Tis the home­land of my soul;

Many loved ones

clothed with beau­ty

In those won­drous glo­ries share;

When I rise

re­deemed

for­giv­en

I shall be no strang­er there.

There my dear Re­deem­er liveth

Blessèd Lamb up­on the throne;

By the crim­son marks up­on them

He will sure­ly claim His own.

So

when­ev­er sad or lone­ly

Look be­yond the earth­ly care;

Weary child of God

re­mem­ber

You will be no strang­er there.
