#144THE BLESSED WORLD

1
THERE is a world to come, Blessed and pure; It is the Christian's home, Long to endure. O, 'tis a world most bright; No more death, nor woe, nor night. Faith views it with delight; Knowing 'tis sure.
2
There Jesus Christ shall reign, All glorious King! There music's rapturous strain Ever will ring: Saints, who, in ages by, Suffered, and were called to die, There in sweet harmony, Anthems will sing.
3
O, 'twill be paradise, Eden restored; All beauteous in their eyes Who love the Word: Wastes, that are now so drear, Like the rose shall blossom there, And be a garden fair, As saith the Lord.
4
There Life's unfailing tree Will bloom most fair; And immortality Its leaves shall bear: While a pure stream will flow, And a joy no mortals know Will to each soul bestow Who enters there.
5
O, that bright world to come! Tongue cannot tell How blessed is the home Where saints will dwell: Turn then from sin away, And the Word of God obey, Then at the last great day, All will be well.
