’TIS SWEET TO KNOW.

By J. S. Thorp

’Tis sweet to know there's a robe and palm And a crown that wait for me; When the Lord again to earth shall come, Giving immortality.
’Tis sweet to know the city of God Shall down from the heavens descend, And the light of its glory shine abroad Through ages that never shall end.
’Tis sweet to know that life and light In that fair city shall reign; That there shall come no shadow of night, Neither sorrow, nor crying, nor pain.
’Tis sweet to know that “over there” Sin never shall part us again; But in those blest mansions bright and fair, With Jesus we ever shall reign.
’Tis sweet to know that the saints of God Shall fair and immortal be, As they dwell by life's flowing, crystal stream, In the shadow of life's fair tree.
’Tis sweet to know, though sorrow and care May darken our pilgrimage way, In a little while the saints will share The peace of an endless day
J. S. THORP.
