There is a place of endless joy - Heaven
(James George Deck/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Heaven.

1. There is a place of endless joy
  prepared for saints above;
of peace and bliss without alloy,
  a home of perfect love.
It was for this that Jesus died,
that we with him might there abide:
  it was for this he suffered pain,
  that all his saints with him might reign. PDF - Midi

2. How bright, how holy is the place,
  unfading, undefiled,
where God unveils his gracious face
  on every blood-bought child!
They round the throne triumphant stand,
a golden harp in every hand,
  to which they sing the ceaseless strain,
  "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain!"

3. Oh, wondrous grace! Oh, love divine,
  to give us such a home!
Let us the present things resign,
  and seek this rest to come;
and, gazing on our Saviour's cross,
esteem all else but worthless dross;
  press forward, till the race be run;
  fight, till the crown of life be won.

James George Deck, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1906, 28-29.
