{I Go to Prepare a Place
A PREPARED PLACE-Lewis E. Jones
I Go to Prepare a Place
(or Blessed Promise of the Master, Faithful, True
in Ev'ry Line)
}
Blessed promise of the Master, faithful, true in
ev'ry line,
Coming from a heart of mercy, spoken by the lips
divine,
Cheering hearts for comfort seeking,
Making earth with hope to shine:
"I go to prepare a place for you."
Chorus "And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, I will come again,
And receive you unto myself,
That where I am, there ye may be also."
Many sad ones look with longing to the land from
sorrow free,
To the bright, eternal country just beyond death'
s narrow sea,
To the promise which insures them that
His own with Him shall be:
"I go to prepare a place for you."
At the dawning of the morning when the bells of
heaven ring,
And the Savior comes in glory home His faithful o
nes to bring,
They will reign with Him forever, 'tis the promis
e of the King:
"I go to prepare a place for you."
