Though oft­en af­flict­ed with sad­ness and pain,
While ov­er this world we roam;
Yet if we are faith­ful, eter­nal life will gain,
In Heav’n our hap­py home.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, O my soul,
For the hope that we all shall soon be free.
For the Sav­ior long ago
Said To glo­ry I will go,
To pre­pare a home for thee.

O joy­ful as­sur­ance that we have re­ceived,
Of glory be­yond the tomb;
Which all shall ob­tain who in Je­sus have be­lieved,
In Heav’n their hap­py home.

Refrain

Glad voic­es are sing­ing the songs of His love,
He who cleansed all our guilt with blood;
With glo­ri­fied ones in that hap­py home ab­ove,
We’ll share that blest ab­ode.

Refrain

If true to the end, we shall join the re­frain
That ec­hoes thro’ Heav’n’s bright dome;
Forever re­leased from all sor­row, toil and pain,
In Heav’n our hap­py home.
