Representative Text

1 Where shall I be?
When the conflict and doubt and the struggles are o'er,
And the world with its pleasures for me are no more,
And my soul stands alone on eternity's shore:
Where shall I be?

2 Where shall I be?
When I cross the dark valley my Lord I shall see,
His rod and His staff my comfort shall be,
Till I come to that home He has chosen for me:
There shall I be,

3 Where shall I be?
My Saviour, with Thee in the Home of the blest,
With no danger to fear, with no trouble oppressed,
In the mansions of light, in the haven of rest:
There shall I be,

Coda:
Yes! there shall I be.
