Gladness


Tune " Shining Shore."


I'M glad that on this sinful earth,

I may not dwell forever;

But that there is a heavenly home,

Prepared by Christ my Saviour.

For Jesus says, he'll come again,

His people to deliver: fair,

They then will share those mansions

And with him dwell forever.

I'm glad I have his holy Word,

Which shows the way to heaven:

To teach me all his just commands,

Which he to man has given.

That word I gladly will obey,

And keep its precepts holy,

I love the straight and narrow way,

That leads to endless glory.

I'm glad the day is drawing near,

When he will come in glory:

0 may I in his sight appear,

Cleansed from all sin, and holy. 

For Jesus says he'll come again,

His people to deliver: fair,

They then will share those mansions

And with him dwell forever.
