There’s a theme that is sweet to my memory
There’s a joy that I cannot express;
There’s a treasure that gladdens my being
’Tis the kingdom of God’s righteousness.
’Tis a kingdom of peace;
It is reigning within
It shall ever increase in my soul;
We possess it right here
When He saves from all sin
And ’twill last while the ages shall roll.
There’s a scene of its grandness before me
Of its greatness there can be no end;
It is joy
it is peace
it is glory
In my heart
how these riches do blend!
I am lost in its splendor and beauty
To its ne’er fading heights I would rise;
Till I see the King come to receive me
And explore it with Him in the skies.
What a pleasure in life it is bringing!
What assurance and hope ever bright!
Oh
what rapture and bliss are awaiting
When our faith shall be lost in the sight!
