1 Christ has prepared for us a place of joy as yet unseen, unheard, of glory promised by his grace to all who take him at his word: 2 A place where no disease is found, no sin, no sickness, no despair; where light and life and love abound, for Love himself is dwelling there: 3 A place where through eternity the sounds of praise bring sweet delight; where every voice in harmony combines in worship day and night: 4 A place where splendour meets the eye a flowing river, fruitful trees, the holy city towering high, and yet more glorious sights than these: 5 A place where we shall see at last the Lamb of God upon his throne; his wounds are healed, his pain is past, his people free, his victory won! 6 Lord, stir our hope, and give us grace that day when all things are made new to find the wonder of that place, to see and know and worship you.
