The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#984

984. O what hath Jesus bought for me!

1 O what hath Jesus bought for me!
Before my ravished eyes
Life's river all divine I see,
And trees of paradise.

2 I see immortal saints in light,
Who taste the pleasure there;
They all are robed in spotless white,
And conquering palms they bear.

3 O what are all my sufferings here,
If, Lord, thou count me meet
With that enraptured host to appear,
And worship at thy feet?

4 Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away;
But let me find them all again
In that eventful day!
