| 1 | How blessèd is our portion! when we look | Hebrews 6:19-20; Colossians 3:3; Revelation 21:27; Romans 8:17; Revelation 5:9-13 |
| Upward, within the veil, our life is there: |
| Our names are written in the Lamb's own book, |
| For grace hath made us each with Him an heir |
| Of all those glories which by right belong |
| To Him, whose worthiness is heaven's eternal song. |
|
| 2 | We have a Father in the heavens above, | John 20:17; John 14:1-3; Ephesians 5:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Hebrews 2:14; Luke 15:4-6 |
| We have a happy home prepared on high, |
| We have a Saviour whose surpassing love |
| Made Him content e'en for our sins to die; |
| He fought, and has our cruel foes o'ercome |
| And has engaged to guard, and bring us safely home. |
|
| 3 | Yes! blessèd is our portion! blessèd He, | Ephesians 1:4; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 1:3 |
| Who, in His grace before the world began, |
| Did set on us His love, sovereign and free, |
| On us the sinful heirs of dying man: |
| And blest us with all blessings in His Son |
| Whose priceless love our hearts from sin and folly won. |
