1.     There's a place prepared in heaven

In that city bright and fair.

When He comes He said He'll take us

When He meets us in the air.

      CHORUS

Blessed Hope! Sweet expectation!

Now with eyes of faith I see;

Yearning in anticipation,

With my Lord I soon shall be;

Nothing else do I desire

For Eternity.

2.Nothing in this world can hold me;

As a pilgrim passing through;

With a vision now before me,

New Jerusalem in view.

3.When I reach that holy city,

I'll behold and stand in awe;

There I'll meet the saints in glory,

Loved ones who had gone before.

4.But amidst the wondrous splendor

Kneeling at His throne of grace,

With a heart full of thanksgiving

I will gaze upon His face.

5.There forever, Oh how blessed!

Never from His presence roam;

Blessed Hope, keep ever burning;

Lead me to my Father's home.
