Homes for the Children

Verse 1

Homes for the children our Lord is preparing, Homes where the lilies bloom, fadeless and fair; Homes by the river where the angels are weaving, Garlands of beauty for the bright ones there.

Chorus

Homes for the children, in mansions eternal, Shining in glory on the heavenly shore; Now they are happy ‘mid beauty ever vernal, They are with Jesus, and forevermore.

Verse 2

Homes for the children our Lord is preparing, Homes in the Eden Land, brighter than day; Homes where the children with the angels are dwelling, Children as beautiful and fair as they.

Verse 3

Homes for the children our Lord is preparing; Safe in the fold of God, naught shall they fear; These are my jewels that I love, saith the Saviour, They shall be with me in my glory here.
