Jesus, the Sure Foundation

Author: Mrs. E. W. Chapman Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I think of yon bright mansion Refrain First Line: On Jesus, the sure foundation Lyrics: 1 I think of yon bright mansion, Within the jasper walls, And then I think of Jesus, Who reigneth over all. Chorus: On Jesus, the sure foundation, Broken and cleft for me; Resting in sweetness, And full completeness, I wait till He calls for me. 2 I read of streets all golden, Of gates of precious stone, But nought to me so precious, As God’s beloved Son. [Chorus] 3 I know that my dear Saviour Will ope, with golden key, The gates so bright and pearly, At last for you and me. [Chorus] 4 One look of life from Jesus Will fill my raptured soul With joy and heav’nly sweetness, Beyond my heart’s control. [Chorus] 5 One smile of recognition, To show that I am His, Will be a full fruition, A perfect sea of bliss. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I think of yon bright mansion]
