1.

We’ve a hope in our hearts;
Untold joy it imparts:
Jesus Christ soon is coming again!
From earth’s toil we’ll be freed;
There’s no sorrow and need,
Home in heavenly peace without end.

Chorus:

No more bonds bind us there,
No more sorrow or care,
In our dwelling with God evermore.
All the battles and strife
And the thorns of this life
We’ll forget there at home with the Lord.

2.

Here fatigue weighs us down;
Satan’s snares all around
Make for perils and thorns on life’s way.
And we often have sighed,
“Jesus, fetch soon Your bride.”
How we long for that glorious day!

3.

What a wonder ’twill be
When our Savior we see.
We’ll be changed when His face we behold.
Then we’ll ever abide
As His glorified bride,
Home in heavenly blessing untold.
