Lyrics

Verse 1

'Tis a sweet and glorious tho't that comes to me,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on;

Jesus saved my soul from death and now I'm free,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on.

Verse 2

When my body's lying in the cold, cold clay, yes,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on;

I will meet my Jesus in the judgment day,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on;

Verse 3

In the gloryland, with God upon the throne, yes,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on;

Thru eternal ages singing, home, sweet home,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on;

Chorus

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on,

Thru eternity I'll live on,

I'll live on, yes, I'll live on,

Thru eternity I'll live on.
