176. My Saviour Dwells in Heaven

1 My Saviour dwells in heaven,
And I shall go there too,
This promise he has given,
And well I know ‘tis true;
It was for me he suffered,
It was for me he died,
It was for me he rose again
And open’d heaven wide.

Refrain:
Then, brother, will you go with me,
Go with me, go with me?
Oh, sister, will you go with me,
The Lord invites you, too?

2 I want to see my Jesus,
And meet him face to face,
I’ll go with love and meekness,
He’ll save me by his grace;
I know that he is waiting
Upon the other shore,
For in his holy book he says
He’ll bear us safely o’er. [Refrain]

3 I want to see the glory
The angels have above,
And sing with them the story
Of Jesus’ wondrous love;
I want to praise my Maker
Forever, evermore,
Within my hand a harp of gold,
Like those who’ve gone before. [Refrain]

4 So, when my days are closing,
And twilight shadows fall,
I want to be reposing
On Christ my all in all;
And when the morning wakens
In that celestial home,
I’ll live thro’ all eternity,
And never more will roam. [Refrain]
