39. I LONG JUST TO DWELL
....................... AN HELO EN LAS REG/AS
..................... , ......... .
Ps 84.2 CONSECRATION / John 14.2 HOPE
I long just to dwell in the mansions of light,
The place where my Savior reigns;
And hear all the echoes sweet melodies,
Triumph of greatest praise.
CHORUS
I will joyfully sing to my excellent King,
My eyes expect to see a shore so heavenly;
I am happy and free, and I can walk along
With jubilation to my home.
2
I may have to tread through the paths lined with thorns,
The world might forget me here;
I know near the bank of the enormous sea,
The saints shall await me there.
3
What glorious hope, what ineffable peace,
I feel in my heart today;
How sweet 'tis to feel in communion and peace,
Worshipping our God above.
4
Oh, lift up your sight, contemplate Jesus Christ,
Be faithful to your Lord King;
The splendorous rays are surrounding the cross,
Surrounding you with their light.

LOTW Rosalie Rodriguez / Prov 8.17 DAWNING / 1 P 1.16 CONSECRATION

To the temple before daybreak, I have come before the Lord,
So my soul can find its comfort,
Strength to bear the burden cross;
You're the gateway to the heavens, there your palace we will find,
My desire is to serve you, from the bottom of my heart.
