A-men. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blesséd country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Used With Tune: EWING
