Lyrics

When I’ve whis­pered fare­well
And for­got­ten my care,
When I’ve sung my last ca­rol
And breathed my last pray­er,
I’ll be met by my Sav­ior
Awaiting me there,
In my home in the Pa­lace of Light.

Refrain

Mansions of glo­ry, home ov­er there!
Region ce­les­ti­al, ra­di­ant and fair!
No pain or sor­row, no gloom or night;
Beautiful home­land, Pa­lace of Light.

When the bat­tle is ov­er,
The vic­to­ry won,
When the tri­als are end­ed,
The jour­ney is done,
I shall look on a splen­dor
More bright than the sun,
In my home in the Pa­lace of Light.

Refrain

I shall sing a glad song
When my eyes shall be­hold
The city of jas­per
With por­tals of gold;
Oh, the joy I shall know,
When the glo­ries un­fold,
In my home in the Pa­lace of Light.
