Jesus is God’s gift to me,
And it is my joy to be
Joined with Him in heavenly life,
Who soon will come with glory rife.
But while I wait, it is His grace
That keeps me till I see His face;
Then, changed into His image bright,
I’ll dwell with Him in perfect light.
Thus, too the saints of every clime
Shall join to sing that song sublime,
Which only those redeemed by blood
Can sing before the Eternal God.
While dwelling there in mansions fair,
‘Twill be our pleasure to declare
The glories of that blessed one
Whom God has set o’er all—His Son.
Thus, reigning over all as King,
His saints shall see the nations bring
Honor and glory to His name
Whose glorious power has spread His fame.
The future state of righteousness
Shall fully prove His blessedness.
