"Yehova ma thandri gada" (A.C.H. 435)
Tune: A mighty Fortress is our God (Old German Melody)
1. Is not Je-ho-va our pa-rent
And Je-su our dear bro-ther?
The Holy Ghost re re-vea-ling
Mys-te-riou-sly re-la-ting,
Our home in Bue-lah Land
Arch-an-gels are our friends
Long-ing to re-ceive us
These pains we glad-ly bear
For one day sure we'll me-et there!
2. A-br-aham and Da-vid the great
And saints of the old co-ve-nant.
The Peter and all a-po-tles;
Suc-cee-ding pro-phet, mar-tyrs.
As we will ga-ther there
What glo-ry un-fore-seen?
Je-sus ran-sum for us
And has us, for-given
Joy-ful when peo-ple blame us!
3. Our names are in the Book of live;
Sealed with the blood of Je-sus
Who else dare e-rase there our names;
Nor could see pro-mised trophies?
Such bliss in con-vin-cing
Our place in Pa-ra-dise
The Lord's re-wards a -wait
Why care we earth-ly deeds?
They dare not rob our joy there!
