Lyrics

There’s a par­don full and sweet,
’Tis for you, ’tis for me;
Blessèd rest at Je­sus’ feet,
’Tis for you and me.

Refrain

All for you, if you be­lieve,
If sal­va­tion you’ll re­ceive;
There’s a wel­come, warm and true,
All for you, all for me.

There’s a peace be­yond all thought,
’Tis for you, ’tis for me;
There’s a joy earth ne­ver brought,
’Tis for you and me.

Refrain

There’s a love no tongue e’er told,
’Tis for you, ’tis for me;
There’s a wealth of Hea­ven’s gold,
’Tis for you and me.

Refrain

There’s a help for ev­ery day,
’Tis for you, ’tis for me;
Strength and bless­ing by the way,
’Tis for you and me.

Refrain

There’s a robe of snowy white,
’Tis for you, ’tis for me;
There’s a home of glo­ry bright,
’Tis for you and me.
