Lyrics

Yonder the palace where dwelleth a King,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior;
Joyful together His mercy we sing,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior.

Refrain

Blessèd for­ev­er, exalted is He
Born of the Spi­rit, His children are we;
Glory to Je­sus our chorus shall be,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior.

Yonder the ransomed His praises re­peat,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior;
Casting their beau­ti­ful crowns at His feet,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior.

Refrain

Yonder His brightness we soon shall be­hold,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior;
There to adore, with the prophets of old,
Jesus, our wonderful Sav­ior.
