Yonder the palace where dwelleth a King,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior;
Joyful together His mercy we sing,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior.
Refrain
Blessèd forever, exalted is He
Born of the Spirit, His children are we;
Glory to Jesus our chorus shall be,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior.
Yonder the ransomed His praises repeat,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior;
Casting their beautiful crowns at His feet,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior.
Refrain
Yonder His brightness we soon shall behold,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior;
There to adore, with the prophets of old,
Jesus, our wonderful Savior.
