Lyrics

Jesus the Sav­ior will lead us to Hea­ven—
On to that land that is brighter than day;
Jesus the Sav­ior, that home He will give us,
Will you not come and accept Him today?

Refrain

Jesus the Sav­ior, sal­va­tion has given;
Will you not quickly His summons obey?
Jesus a home has prepared up in Hea­ven,
Will you accept and believe Him today?

Jesus the Sav­ior is coming from Hea­ven—
Coming to take us all home to the land,
Where we shall rest and be happy for­ev­er,
There at the side of our Sav­ior to stand.

Refrain

Jesus the Sav­ior will guide us to Hea­ven—
Lead us along in the heavenly way,
Till in that land we shall rest and be happy,
In that pure clime that is fairer than day.
