Representative Text

1 There are mansions prepared in the skies,
By the Savior who passed on before;
And the Christian, whenever he dies,
Finds a home where the saints die no more.

Chorus:
Happy home, happy home,
Happy home, where the saints die no more;
Happy home, happy home,
Happy home, where the saints die no more.

2 There the Father of Mercy abides,
Whom the saints and the angels adore,
And the river of life gently glides
From His throne in that world evermore. [Chorus]

3 There the Lamb that was slain ever lives
in the light of the glory of God,
And to all who obey Him He gives.
Robes made white in His own precious blood. [Chorus]
