Let Youth Praise Him ‎#127

127. Is My Name Written There?

1 1 Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold,
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold;
In the book of Thy kingdom, with its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior, is my name written there?

Refrain:
Is my name written there, on the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom, is my name written there?

2 Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior, is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written in bright letters that glow,
"Tho' your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow." [Refrain]

3 Oh, that beautiful city, with its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings, in pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh to despoil what is fair,
Where the angels are watching, is my name written there? [Refrain]
