1. There’s a place in heav’n prepared for me,
When the toils of this life are o’er;
Where the saints, robed in white, shall forever be,
Singing praises forevermore.
Chorus:
Jesus promised me a home over there,
Jesus promised me a home over there;
No more sickness, sorrow, pain or death,
Jesus promised me a home over there.
2. In my Father’s home are mansions bright,
Jesus says it, and I know ‘tis true;
There’s a home for me in that land of light,
Brother, sister, there is one for you.
3. Many dear ones we loved are before the throne,
In that happy, happy home on high;
I shall walk with them thro’ the streets of gold,
I shall wear a starry crown by and by.
4. In that home above, beyond the skies,
Soon from sickness, pain, and death I’ll be,
There with Jesus to reign forevermore,
Throughout all eternity.
