1 A glorious home is preparing
In Heaven for you and me,
God's glory we shall be sharing,
If we are redeemed and free.

Refrain:
Like day it is shining,
Where none is repining,
Where love is refining
The souls of the blest;
True loyalty showing,
With praise overflowing,
It's there I am going,
Forever to rest.

2 A mansion of glory is waiting
For all who have hard the call;
A home without sorrow or hating—
where love will be over all. [Refrain]

3 There crowns will our souls adorning,
While ages of joy go past,
'Tis coming the glorious morning,
We'll all be at home at last. [Refrain]
