1. I have a happy home beyond the veil, it’s true,
Of mansions choicely set with sparkling jewels there,
The streets are all gold which time can ne’er undo,
Now of Christ’s love I’ll sing till I leave world of care.
CHORUS
O, Christ how great Thy love for me to know,
Beyond all Heaven’s span, unsearchable below,
I love the song of love that tells of saving grace,
In the cross is my theme, pictured forth in His face.
2. The ancients all are there, each by his stall enthroned,
The marriage feast is spread for guests of every rank,
In garments wrought of gold, his Bride whom He hath owned,
Now of Christ’s love I’ll sing till I reach crystal bank.
3. The pearly gates superb each by His angels watched,
No filth shall enter there where God of glory dwells,
His servants serve in truth, through them His laws dispatched,
Now of Christ’s love I’ll sing till my soul anthems swell.
4. A river flows from throne, life-giving waters fresh,
And luscious fruit to eat imparting knowledge great,
Oh! what a pageant scene for mortals of our flesh,
Now of Christ’s love I’ll sing with a heart void of hate.
5. There Zion’s sons are known, each by his name is called,
Of them it shall be said, “This man was born in her,”
In fellowship with God, whom Triune God hath called,
Now of Christ’s love I’ll sing, sceptre sure He’ll confer.
