The Palace of Light

When I’ve whis­pered fare­well

And for­got­ten my care

When I’ve sung my last car­ol

And breathed my last pray­er

I’ll be met by my Sav­ior

Awaiting me there

In my home in the pal­ace of Light.

Mansions of glo­ry

home ov­er there!

Region ce­les­ti­al

ra­di­ant and fair!

No pain or sor­row

no gloom or night;

Beautiful home­land

pal­ace of Light.

When the bat­tle is ov­er

The vic­to­ry won

When the tri­als are end­ed

The jour­ney is done

I shall look on a splen­dor

More bright than the sun

In my home in the pal­ace of Light.

I shall sing a glad song

When my eyes shall be­hold

The city of jas­per

With por­tals of gold;

Oh

the joy I shall know

When the glo­ries un­fold

In my home in the pal­ace of Light.
