I have a future all sublime,
Beyond the realms of space and time,
Where my Redeemer I shall see,
And sorrow nevermore shall be.
Beyond the realms of space and time,
Where my Redeemer I shall see,
And sorrow nevermore shall be.
A precious heritage is mine;
’Tis kept above by love divine;
And while I tarry here below,
He gives me what is best, I know.
’Tis kept above by love divine;
And while I tarry here below,
He gives me what is best, I know.
O, God be praised, He planned for me;
From anxious care I’m spared and free;
He bids me cast on Him my care—
What then remains for me to bear?
From anxious care I’m spared and free;
He bids me cast on Him my care—
What then remains for me to bear?
Sweet peace within my soul doth dwell;
With joy I sing: “Now all is well,”
He leads me safely by His hand
Until I reach the Glory Land.
With joy I sing: “Now all is well,”
He leads me safely by His hand
Until I reach the Glory Land.
O precious Savior, teach Thou me
To live my life more true to Thee
The little while I yet must roam
Before I reach my heav’nly home.
To live my life more true to Thee
The little while I yet must roam
Before I reach my heav’nly home.
Words: Nils Frykman, 1883 (Min framtidsdag är ljus och lång); translated from Swedish to English by Andrew L. Skoog, 1920.
