Author: W. O. Cushing Hymnal: The Bright Array #112 (1889) Scripture: Isaiah 40:11 First Line: Homes for the children our Lord is preparing Refrain First Line: Homes for the children, in mansions eternal Lyrics: 1 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing,
Homes where the lilies bloom, fadeless and fair;
Homes by the river where the angels are weaving,
Garlands of beauty for the bright ones there.
Refrain:
Homes for the children, in mansions eternal,
Shining in glory on the heavenly shore;
Now they are happy ‘mid beauty ever vernal,
They are with Jesus, and forevermore.
2 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing,
Homes in the Eden Land, brighter than day;
Homes where the children with the angels are dwelling,
Children as beautiful and fair as they. [Refrain]
3 Homes for the children our Lord is preparing;
Safe in the fold of God, naught shall they fear;
These are my jewels that I love, saith the Saviour,
They shall be with me in my glory here. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Homes for the children our Lord is preparing]
