In the Home Above

There’s a land of light and glo­ry

Just be­yond the pear­ly gates;

Where no grief or fear can en­ter

Joy in all its full­ness waits.

In the hap­py home of love

Blessèd pro­mis­es to prove;

We shall share the Sav­ior’s glo­ry

In the heav’n­ly home above.

In that land no care will bur­den

Jesus pro­mised us His peace;

In the glo­ry of His pre­sence

Life and love shall nev­er cease.

As we jour­ney t’ward its glad­ness

Earthly ties by death are riv’n;

But still lead­ing up­ward

on­ward

Hope and faith point us to Heav’n.

Joy and rap­ture are eter­nal

Light im­mor­tal crowns the hills;

Those we love are ours for­ev­er

This sweet pledge all doubt­ing stills.
