100. The Kingdom of Glory

1 I am on the King’s highway going to the Land of Day,
For my home is in the kingdom of glory;
Christ the Lord Himself has told in His precious word of old
That my home is in the kingdom of glory.

Refrain:
Some sweet day I’ll reach that shore,
There to dwell forevermore;
Until then I’ll keep on telling the story.
With the children of the King
I shall join His praise to sing,
In my home in that bright kingdom of glory.

2 Here I cannot, would not stay ‘mid these cares and griefs alway,
For my home is in the kingdom of glory;
And by faith I’m pressing on to that land of light and song,
For my home is in the kingdom of glory. [Refrain]

3 Oh, it gives me joy to know, in my trials here below,
That my home is in the kingdom of glory;
And I love to sing and tell this sweet truth I know so sell,
That my home is in the kingdom of glory. [Refrain]

4 Pain and death I shall not know in that country where I go,
For my home is in the kingdom of glory;
There from sin I shall be free, and with Jesus ever be,
For my home is in the kingdom of glory. [Refrain]
