I Shall Dwell Forever There

When the night is o’er and the sha­dows past

And eter­nal dawn dis­pels the gloom of earth­ly care;

In the home of God I shall rest at last

In the land of Ed­en I shall dwell for­ev­er there.

I shall walk the streets of the ci­ty of God

With its tree of life so bright

so fair

There will be no night—Je­sus is the light

I shall dwell for­ev­er there.

Tho’ my sky be filled with the clouds of time

And my soul is bur­dened with fore­bod­ings of des­pair

Yet

my heart is cheered

for the hope is mine

If I trust in Je­sus I shall dwell for­ev­er there.

How my heart will sing when I see the King

For there is no sov­er­eign that with Je­sus can com­pare;

So the sac­ri­fice of a life I’ll bring

And with Him in glo­ry

I shall dwell for­ev­er there.
