Lyrics

When all my labors and trials are o’er,
And I am safe on that beau­ti­ful shore,
Just to be near the dear Lord I adore,
Will through the ages be glo­ry for me.

Refrain

O that will be glo­ry for me,
Glory for me, glo­ry for me,
When by His grace I shall look on His face,
That will be glo­ry, be glo­ry for me.

When, by the gift of His infinite grace,
I am accorded in Hea­ven a place,
Just to be there and to look on His face,
Will through the ages be glo­ry for me.

Refrain

Friends will be there I have loved long ago;
Joy like a river around me will flow;
Yet just a smile from my Sav­ior, I know,
Will through the ages be glo­ry for me.
