The Place Prepared

M. B. C. Slade • English

Primary Scripture: John 14:2

Verse 1

There's a beautiful place for you and for me, We homeless shall be nevermore; For a mansion prepared by Jesus I see, And he is the Way and the Door.

Chorus

Beautiful home! beautiful home! Singing its story I tell, O enter, my soul, no longer to roam, Forever with Jesus to dwell.

Verse 2

And I need not look off to find the dear place, O'er Jordan's dark rolling away; For he calleth me nigh, and shows me his face, And bids me be welcome to-day.

Chorus

Beautiful home! beautiful home! Singing its story I tell, O enter, my soul, no longer to roam, Forever with Jesus to dwell.

Verse 3

I shall enter his house and find him, I know, In doing the will of his word; In my heavenly home, begun here below, I'll dwell evermore with my Lord.

Chorus

Beautiful home! beautiful home! Singing its story I tell, O enter, my soul, no longer to roam, Forever with Jesus to dwell.
