Representative Text

1 Glorious day! when Christ, our Savior,
Will return to take us home
To the land of endless pleasure,
Never more in sin to roam.

Refrain:
Where we’ll dwell in glorious mansions,
By the Savior’s hand prepared;
Where He waits to crown the faithful,
Who have e’er His love declared.

2 While we watch and wait and wonder
What that heav’nly home will be,
Let us battle for the Master,
Who has gained us entrance, free. [Refrain]

3 When He comes, we all shall see Him,
And shall hear His words of love,
Bidding us into the glory
Of the heav’nly home above. [Refrain]
