Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDE BFBFBAAB GHGHEIIE JBJBKLMK| Somewhere in the realms supernal | A |
| Is a home prepared for me | B |
| Where my joys shall be eternal | A |
| And my spirit ever free | B |
| Mortal vision helps not here | C |
| God conceals it from my sight | D |
| By effulgent beams of light | D |
| Oh that He would bring it near | E |
| - | |
| But I hear a voice say softly | B |
| Be content to leave it so | F |
| For God's thoughts are far too lofty | B |
| For a man like thee to know | F |

| Bide thy time and thou shalt see | B |

| I cannot draw back the curtain | G |
| That conceals the glory land | H |
| Yet my hope is sure and certain | G |
| For the tracings of God's hand | H |
| On the outside do appear | E |
| Like the cherubim of old | I |
| Wrought in needle work and gold | I |
| Bringing all the glory near | E |
| - | |
| He who made the lovely flowers | J |
| Which adorn both shrub and tree | B |
| Climbing vine and shady bowers | J |
| In this beauty speaks to me | B |
| 'Tis the curtain of His tent | K |
| Hiding much yet much reveals | L |
| Type of the Elysian fields | M |
| Glory streams thro' woof and rent | K |
