The Lee Fair Anthem
“My Father’s House” Joseph Walker
Verse 1
My Father’s house above, O when shall I be there,
To sing of thy redeeming love, And all its glory share?
And all its glory share?
To sing of thy redeeming love, And all its glory share?
Chorus
Yonder is my house and portion fair, my treasure and my heart are there,
And my abiding home; for me my elder brethren stay.
While angels beckon me away, And Jesus bids me come,
And Jesus bids me come, and Jesus bids me come,
While angels beckon me away, And Jesus bids me come.
Verse 2
No wintry blasts they feel, to winter and decay,
No darkness in that land, there’ll be but one eternal day
Verse 3
The streets are paved with gold, the mansions bright and fair;
And all the ransomed sons of God a crown of glory wear.
Verse 4
But all these glories fade, they wither and they fly,
When they behold Him on the throne, who did for sinners die.
Verse 5
Then all the ransomed throng, prostrate before Him fall,
And join in one triumphant song, that Christ is all in all.
