126. I'll Live On

1 ’Tis a sweet and glorious tho't that comes to me,
I’ll live on, Yes, I’ll live on,
Jesus saved my soul from death and now I’m free,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on,

Refrain:
I'll live on, yes, I'll live on,
Thro' eternity I'll live on,
I'll live on, Yes, I'll live on,
In eternity I'll live on.

2 When my body’s slumb'ring in the cold, cold clay,
I’ll live on, Yes, I’ll live on,
There to sleep in Jesus till the judgment day,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on, [Refrain]

3 When the world’s on fire, and darkness veils the sun,
I’ll live on, Yes, I’ll live on,
Men will cry and to the rocks and mountains run;
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on, [Refrain]

4 In the glory land with Jesus on the throne,
I’ll live on, Yes, I’ll live on,
For eternal ages singing, home, sweet home,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on, [Refrain]
