John 14:3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Thou who hast undertook our cause,
Art fitting up the house of God;
The house was purchased on Thy cross,
And cost Thee all Thy sacred blood:
Our Head Thou didst arise again,
Our Harbinger go up on high,
And gifts receive for sinful men,
And pour Thy Spirit from the sky.

Thou hast enroll'd our names above,
Hast in our names possession took,
Who Thy Divine appearing love,
And for Thy final coming look:
Sure as Thou dost our place prepare,
Thou wilt with majesty come down,
And take us in that day to share
Thy joy, Thy glory, and Thy crown.
