The Heavenly Place

Author: R. F. L. Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #19 (1901) First Line: How oft there comes to me the tho't Refrain First Line: Tho' all unworthy of His grace Lyrics: 1 How oft there comes to me the thought That soon life’s work will all be wrought, And then, with Jesus, I will be In that blest place prepared for me. Refrain: Though all unworthy of His grace, He hath for me prepared a place, He saved me and He’ll make me meet To enter Heav’n and there my God to greet. 2 The glories of that blessed place Inspire me to pursue my race; The loved ones waiting over there But urge me on their joys to share. [Refrain] 3 On earth, there’s no abiding thing; But there, eternal praise will ring. The wonders of His love and grace, For e’er shall fill the heavenly place. [Refrain] Tune Title: [How oft there comes to me the tho't]
