Representative Text

1 Can you read a clear title to the mansions in the sky,
That the Lord your Redeemer has prepared for you on high?
Are your feet firmly anchored on the Rock that will not fail?
Is your hope sure and steadfast, does it look within the vale.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, O my brother,
Praise the Lord, O my brother, you are safe from every fear;
Praise the Lord, O my brother,
Praise the Lord, O my brother, for a sky serene and clear.

2 Can you read a clear title to the robe of spotless white,
That shall clothe all the faithful when they pass the gates of life?
Is your lamp trimmed and burning, will your longing soul rejoice?
When at noon or at midnight you shall hear the Master’s voice. [Refrain]

3 Can you read a clear title to the crown of life and love
That awaits every victor in those blessed realms above?
Have your borne well your colors, have you tried to keep the faith?
Tho’ the grace that redeemed, you will triumph over death. [Refrain]
