[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Our Jesus prepares us a home.
He’s shepherding all who will come.
What joy there will be when they meet –
the family, gathered, complete.

Their song will be glory to Him
who ransomed their life, pardoned sin,
the Lamb Christ who for them was slain –
how wonderful there is His reign.

All bitterness, malice has gone,
a glorious place is this home.
There’s plenty to do, but no pain.
How wonderful there is His reign.

Tune: 88 88 anapaestic eg Celest, tune of ‘How good is the God we adore’

Written in the best traditions of Victorian hymnists (if that's the right word). Perhaps the style is due for a revival...

Thanks!  A lot of those hymns, and ones written earlier, Wesley. Watts, and earlier centuries, were used as a reminder of the teaching of scripture, and with a metrical style stuck in the memory.

Recently the concentration has been more on experience and worship phrases. I think we do need a return somewhat as remembering the teachings can really lift the heart in worship! Rhiannon
