Author: J. Wenhaupt Slaughenhaupt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16616 First Line: Though often afflicted with sadness and pain Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, O my soul Lyrics:
1 Though often afflicted with sadness and pain,
While over this world we roam;
Yet if we are faithful, eternal life will gain,
In Heav’n our happy home.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
For the hope that we all shall soon be free.
For the Savior long ago
Said "To glory I will go,
To prepare a home for thee."
2 O joyful assurance that we have received,
Of glory beyond the tomb;
Which all shall obtain who in Jesus have believed,
In Heav’n their happy home. [Refrain]
3 Glad voices are singing the songs of His love,
He who cleansed all our guilt with blood;
With glorified ones in that happy home above,
We’ll share that blest abode. [Refrain]
4 If true to the end, we shall join the refrain
That echoes thro’ Heav’n’s bright dome;
Forever released from all sorrow, toil and pain,
In Heav’n our happy home. [Refrain]
