2
Jesus has promised our souls many rich dwellings,
Before ascending He promised to prepare;
And soon we shall forget all our mortal dwellings,
Never again will we look back to this world.
3
The peace will last many years, more than one thousand,
For souls who gained their salvation in the Lord;
Eternally they will sing the greatest vict'ry,
For they were saved from perdition by the Lord.
4
The whitest vestment, a crown, and palm in our hands,
There in the end we'll be given one by one;
A life eternal that God shall give to our souls,
And God will never take back what He's proclaimed.

On this eventful and blest day,
We have all heard your sweet voice;
As we all come to salute thee,
Anointed of our Lord.
CHORUS
Oh, Anointed, elected Servant,
Here in your presence we witness;
What with your hands you have labored,
All the hardships that you have carried;
They have not been trampled over,
You have been blessed by God.

All the false Christians ignore thee,
And thy Election by God;
Thy congregation does know this,
Thou hast been sent by our Lord.
