Composer: | C. Austin Miles |
1 In God’s home is a book called “The Lambs book of life,”
Kept by angels so spotless and fair;
There’s no room in that book for earth’s sorrows or strife,
For the names of his children are there.
Refrain:
Yes, the names of his children are there
On those pages so spotless and fair;
When life’s struggles are past,
He will own us at last,
For the names of his children are there.
2 Ev’ry hour of the day would the tempter of souls
Fill our spirits with doubt and despair;
But at thoughts of that book ev’ry shadow soon rolls,
For the names of his children are there. [Refrain]
3 So I’ll trust in that One who each hour of the day
Helps me carry each burden and care;
He has put my name down on those pages to stay,
For the names of his children are there. [Refrain]
4 When at last I shall hear Jesus bid me come home,
From that book he my name will declare;
Then I’ll live with my Lord in his beautiful home,
For the names of his children are there. [Refrain]
