Lyrics

In my Fa­ther’s house there is ma­ny a room,
And my Lord has gone to pre­pare
A place for me; O can it be
That I shall be with Him there?

Refrain

Forever with Je­sus there,
Forever with Je­sus there,
What grace di­vine, that He is mine!
And I shall be with Him there.

In my Fa­ther’s house there is end­less day,
With no cloud of sor­row or care,
No tear­ful eyes, no groans or sighs,
They know who are with Him there.

Refrain

In my Fa­ther’s house there’s no want or woe,
And there can be no more pray­er;
For what be­side can God pro­vide,
Since we shall be with Him there.

Refrain

In my Fa­ther’s house there is no more death,
For the life of God we share;
No thought of sin can en­ter in,
For we shall be with Him there.

Refrain

In my Fa­ther’s house there are bless­èd saints,
Who His ho­ly im­age bear;
They find in this their sweet­est bliss,
That they may be with Him there.
