Jesus Promised Me a Home

lyricist: H. Lutton, 1898
Composer: John Sweney

There’s a place in Heav’n pre­pared for me

When the toils of this life are o’er;

Where the saints

robed in white

shall for­ev­er be

Singing prais­es for­ev­er more.

Jesus pro­mised me a home ov­er there

Jesus pro­mised me a home ov­er there;

No more sick­ness

sor­row

pain or death

Jesus pro­mised me a home over there.

In my Fa­ther’s home are man­sions bright

Jesus says it and I know ’tis true;

There’s a home for me

in that land of light

Brother

sis­ter

there is one for you.

Many dear ones we loved are be­fore the throne

In that hap­py

hap­py home on high;

I shall walk with them thro’ the streets of gold

I shall wear a star­ry crown by and by.

In that home above

be­yond the skies

Soon from sick­ness

pain and death I’ll be

There with Je­sus to reign for­ev­er­more

Throughout all eter­ni­ty.
