12838. In The Paradise Of Jesus

1 In the paradise of Jesus
There are many homes of light,
And they shine beyond the darkness
With a radiance clear and bright.

Refrain:
Oh, that I might hear the angels
Singing o’er the crystal sea,
And amidst the many mansions
Find a home prepared for me.

2 In those quiet resting places,
Midst the pastures green and fair,
Jesus gathers in the homeless,
And He dwells among them there. [Refrain]

3 Can we see those happy faces
Of the dear ones gone before?
They are ready now to greet us,
When we gain that blessed shore. [Refrain]

4 Then, the pearly gates unfolding,
Never shall be closed again;
We shall see within the city
Jesus, ’mid His white robed train. [Refrain]
