Representative Text

1 Precious words by Jesus spoken
Fill my soul with joy;
“Lay your treasures up in heaven,
Where nothing can destroy.”

Refrain:
Up in the glory land there’s a place prepared for me,
There’s where my heart is, and my treasure is there awaiting,
Up in the glory land, in the Father’s house on high,
There’s where I’m going with Jesus by and by.

2 Tho’ at times my faith seems feeble,
Fear clouds veil the blue;
O how sweet to hear Him whisper,
“I’ll bring you safely through.” [Refrain]

3 This assurance cheers me onward,
Lightens ev’ry care;
That my Saviour walks beside me,
Doth ev’ry burden share. [Refrain]

4 Farewell worldly pride and honor,
Gain but for a day;
I am satisfied with Jesus,
His love endures alway. [Refrain]
