Our Home in the Kingdom.
By E. P. B.
TUNE.—"A light in the window." THERE'S a crown and a kingdom for thee, brother;
There's a crown and a kingdom for thee;
Our Saviour will come, and will gather us home;
Then our home in the kingdom shall be. "The King in his beauty" we'll see,
And with him we ever shall be;
In the year of the great jubilee,
Then our home in the kingdom shall be. There's a harp, and a palm, and a crown, brother;
An inheritance blessed for thee;
Where Jesus shall reign, in fair Eden's domain,
There our home in the kingdom shall be. There's a "river of water of life," brother;
There's a pure flowing river for thee,
That water so pure, shall forever endure,
There the "tree of life" ever shall be. There's a mansion in glory for thee, brother;
And thy home in that mansion shall be;
The kingdom will come, and that is our home,
With patriarchs and prophets we'll be. By faith our inheritance we see,
And our home in the kingdom shall be;
In the year of the great jubilee
The ransomed shall ever be free. E. P. B.—in Voice of the West.
