Words: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel, in Make His Praise Glorious, by Edwin Excell (Chicago, Illinois: 1900).

Music: “Glory Song,” Charles H. Gabriel, 1900.

This song commemorates an expression of Ed Card, superintendent of the Sun­shine Rescue Mission in St. Louis, Missouri. An enthusiastic man, he usually ended his prayers with, “And that will be glory for me!”

When all my labors and trials are over,
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.

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.

Refrain

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

Refrain
