Songs of Sovereign Grace ‎#61

61. There Is a Bright and Happy Home

1 There is a bright and happy home,
Where all is joy and gladness,
Where win and sorrow may not come,
Nor any thought of sadness.

Refrain:
We love to think of that sweet home,
Where death can part us never,
Where we shall dwell in God’s own light,
Forever and forever.

2 This life is often clouded o’er,
With tearful hours of sorrow,
And those we hold so dear today,
May go from us tomorrow. [Refrain]

3 There, all our fears are laid to rest,
And hush’d in all our weeping,
There, troubled hearts find sweet repose,
Like little children sleeping. [Refrain]

4 We hope to reach this happy home,
Where there is no more weeping,
But wait in patience God’s own time,
We still are in His keeping. [Refrain]
