The Little Minstrel ‎#62

62. Happy Home

1 In that world of ancient story,
Where no storms can ever come,
Where the Savior dwells in glory,
There remains for us a home.

Chorus:
Happy home, Happy home,
Jesus bids his fol'wers come,
To that land of bliss and glory,
Our happy, happy home.

2 There within the heavenly mansions,
Where life's river flows so clear,
We shall see our blessed Savior,
If we love and serve him here. [Chorus]

3 There with holy angels dwelling,
Where the ransomed wander free,
Jesus' praises ever telling,
Sing we through eternity. [Chorus]

4 There amid the shining numbers,
All our toils and labors o'er,
Where the Guardian never slumbers,
We shall dwell forevermore. [Chorus]
