About this Hymn
The words of this hymn point us to beautiful promises. Jesus promised he was preparing a place for us and would return to take us there (John 14:2–3). It speaks of the way our trials on earth will give way to something much greater: "This light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison" (2 Cor. 4:17).
Lyrics
Verse 1
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, sing his mercy and his grace: in the mansions bright and blessed, he'll prepare for us a place.
Chorus
When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout the victory.
Verse 2
While we walk the pilgrim pathway, clouds will overspread the sky; but when trav'ling days are over, not a shadow, not a sigh.
Verse 3
Let us then be true and faithful, trusting, serving ev'ry day; just one glimpse of him in glory will the toils of life repay.
Verse 4
Onward to the prize before us! Soon his beauty we'll behold; soon the pearly gates will open; we shall tread the streets of gold.
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, sing his mercy and his grace: in the mansions bright and blessed, he'll prepare for us a place.
