86. Evermore

1 They are waiting for us there,
Where there's neither grief nor care,
Where there's heav'nly joys to share, evermore;
All their earthly work is done,
And they never more will roam
'Tis their pure and peaceful home, evermore.

Chorus:
Evermore, Evermore,
They will live a life of Love evermore,
They are waiting for us there,
Where there's neither grief nor care,
Where there's heav'nly joys to share, evermore.

2 Oh how happy they must be,
In that sweet eternity,
When the Savior's face they'll see evermore;
Where His pure and holy light,
Shine upon the angels bright,
And there's nothing but delight, evermore. [Chorus]

3 Oh we long to meet them there,
In the land so pure and fair,
Where those blessings we may share, evermore;
There we'll live a life of love,
And our trust in Jesus prove,
In His happy home above, evermore. [Chorus]
