We shall be forever blest
In that home of peace and rest,
When from earth the Lord shall set our spirits free;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say farewell,
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.
Refrain
Just across death’s stormy sea
Is a home for you and me;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say farewell,
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.
We shall live with Jesus there,
In that land so bright and fair,
When our toiling days are gone forevermore;
With the angels we shall sing
Joyful praises to our king,
When we’ve reached the landing on that happy shore.
Refrain
Come to Jesus, wayward soul,
He will cleanse and make you whole,
If you only trust and serve Him evermore;
To your troubled, contrite heart
Peace and joy He will impart,
And will greet you on that bright celestial shore.
Refrain
