Joyful Songs ‎#69

69. There Is a Blessed Home

1 There is a blessed home
beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow;
When faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crown'd,
And everlasting light,
Its glory throws around,

Chorus:
Home, Home, Blessed home,
To thee, to thee we come,
Home, Home, Blessed home,
To thee, to thee we come.

2 There is a land of peace,
Good angels know it well,
Glad songs that never cease,
Within its portals swell,
Around its glorious throne,
Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father, One,
And Spirit, evermore. [Chorus]

3 Look up ye saints of God,
Nor bear to tread below
The path your Savior trod,
Of daily toil and woe;
Wait but a little while,
In uncomplaining love,
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above. [Chorus]
