Author: Alph Harrison Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We shall be forever blest Refrain First Line: Just across death’s stormy sea Lyrics: 1 We shall be forever blest
In that home of peace and rest,
When from earth the Lord shall set our spirits free;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say "farewell,"
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.
Refrain:
Just across death’s stormy sea
Is a home for you and me;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say "farewell,"
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.
2 We shall live with Jesus there,
In that land so bright and fair,
When our toiling days are gone forevermore;
With the angels we shall sing
Joyful praises to our king,
When we’ve reached the landing on that happy shore. [Refrain]
3 Come to Jesus, wayward soul,
He will cleanse and make you whole,
If you only trust and serve Him evermore;
To your troubled, contrite heart
Peace and joy He will impart,
And will greet you on that bright celestial shore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We shall be forever blest] Text Sources: Glorious Theme by Will H. Ruebush, Samuel W. Beazley, James H. Ruebush, Garland L. Shirley, Curtis Taylor and Alph Harrison (Dayton, VA: Ruebush-Kieffer, 1927)
