19. The Heavenly Place

1 How oft there comes to me the thought
That soon life’s work will all be wrought,
And then, with Jesus, I will be
In that blest place prepared for me.

Refrain:
Though all unworthy of His grace,
He hath for me prepared a place,
He saved me and He’ll make me meet
To enter Heav’n and there my God to greet.

2 The glories of that blessed place
Inspire me to pursue my race;
The loved ones waiting over there
But urge me on their joys to share. [Refrain]

3 On earth, there’s no abiding thing;
But there, eternal praise will ring.
The wonders of His love and grace,
For e’er shall fill the heavenly place. [Refrain]
