Refrain: There’s a place for me, blessed place for me, At the cross where my Saviour died; There’s a place for me in his loving breast; Ever there may I abide. 2 There’s a place for me at the mercy seat, When in Jesus’ name I plead, When I lift my eyes to the throne above, Where he lives to intercede.

[Refrain] 4 There’s a place for me in the Father’s house, There are mansions bright and fair, With my robes made white thro’ his saving blood, There’s a crown for me to wear.
