Tekst

That will be Heaven for Me
1 I know not the hour when my Lord will come
To take me away to His own dear home;
But I know that His presence will lighten te gloom,
And that will be glory for me.

chorus:
And that will be glory for me,
Oh, that will be glory for me;
Yes, that will be glory, oh, that will be glory for me;
But I know that His presence will lighten te gloom,
And that will be glory for me.

2 I know not the song that the angels sing,
I know not the sound of the harps’ glad ring;
But I know there’ll be mention of Jesus our King,
And that will be music for me.

chorus:
And that will be music for me,
Oh, that will be music for me;
Yes, that will be music, oh, that will be music for me;
But I know there’ll be mention of Jesus our King,
And that will be music for me.

3 I know not the form of my mansion fair,
I know not the name that I then shall bear;
But I know that my Saviour will welcome me there,
And that will be heaven for me.

chorus:
And that will be heaven for me,
Oh, that will be heaven for me;
Yes, that will be heaven, oh, that will be heaven for me;
But I know that my Saviour will welcome me there,
And that will be heaven for me.
