Heir of Glory! can it be
God has destined this for me –
Through the work that Christ has done,
I, receive the place of son ?
Yes, the rich One poor became,
Bore that death of pain and shame ;
I, the poor one, thus to be
Rich to all eternity.
Oh the riches of His grace
Thus to give me such a place !
And to be in that blest home,
Heir with Him upon His throne.
Then, if such ray future be,
Now I would be pleasing Thee ;
In Thy ways my steps be found,
Steadfast in Thy work abound,
Till Thy glorious shout we hear,
Bidding us from far and near,
Rise to meet and praise the Lamb,
He the ever great "I Am."
