Sheet music

  1. 1Homeless here the soul may rove,But a mansion waits above,For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)Here the way is seldom fair;Streets of gold are shining there,For the soul (For the soul) that’s redeemed.Brighter the way(Brighter and brighter the way) groweth each day,(groweth, yes, groweth each day,)For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)At the bright gate,(At the bright beautiful gate,) angels await,(angels, yes, angels await,)For the soul that’s redeemed.(For the soul that’s redeemed.)
  2. 2Friends below are few and rare,Countless friends are waiting there,For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)Here by toil each day depressed,Yonder sweet, eternal rest,For the soul (For the soul) that’s redeemed.Brighter the way(Brighter and brighter the way) groweth each day,(groweth, yes, groweth each day,)For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)At the bright gate,(At the bright beautiful gate,) angels await,(angels, yes, angels await,)For the soul that’s redeemed.(For the soul that’s redeemed.)
  3. 3In that happy world above,There is peace and there is love,For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)And a crown is waiting there,Decked with gems of beauty rare,For the soul (For the soul) that’s redeemed.Brighter the way(Brighter and brighter the way) groweth each day,(groweth, yes, groweth each day,)For the soul that’s redeemed;(For the soul that’s redeemed;)At the bright gate,(At the bright beautiful gate,) angels await,(angels, yes, angels await,)For the soul that’s redeemed.(For the soul that’s redeemed.)
