Lyrics by F. E. Belden 
Verse 1:
O Jesus, my Redeemer, Thou art my Joy and Song,
My Saviour and my Solace when griefs around me throng.

Chorus:
O Jesus, my Redeemer, My song shall be of thee;
No other Friend so constant, no friend so dear to me.

Thou art my Hope and Comfort through all the weary years,
When shadows dark surround me, when all the bitter tears.

Verse 3:
I trust in Thee, my Saviour, My faithful Friend and Guide;
For thou to me art dearer than all on earth beside.

Lyrics by G. W. Bethune 
O city of the jasper wall,
And of the pearly gate,
For thee amid the storms of life,
Our weary spirits wait,
O may we walk the streets of gold,
No mortal feet have trod;
O may we worship at the shrine,
The temple of our God.

Chorus:
O land of bliss!
O land of light!
O city of the jasper wall!
O land forever bright!
