A Robe of White

Representative Text

1 A robe of white, a crown of gold,
A harp, a home, a mansion fair;
A victor's palm and joy untold,
Are mine when I get there.

Chorus:
For Jesus is my Saviour
He paid my debt on Calv'ry's mountain;
I'm happy in His wondrous love,
I'm drinking, yes, I'm drinking at the fountain.
