When All My Labors and Trials Are O’er

Lyrics by: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt (1897)
Music by: William Oscar Cushing (1897)
Tune: LABORS · 8.7.8.7
Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Verse 1

When all my labors and trials are o’er,
And I am safe on that beautiful shore,
Just to be near the dear Lord I adore,
Will through the ages be glory for me.

Refrain

O that will be glory for me,
Glory for me, glory for me;
When by His grace I shall look on His face,
That will be glory, be glory for me.

Verse 2

When, by the gift of His infinite grace,
I am accorded in Heaven a place,
Just to be there and to look on His face,
Will through the ages be glory for me.

Verse 3

Friends will be there I have loved long ago;
Joy like a river around me will flow;
Yet, just a smile from my Saviour, I know,
Will through the ages be glory for me.
