I know that Jesus ever lives, And has prepared a place for me ; And crowns of victory He gives To those who would His children be.
Then ask me not to linger long Amid the gay and thoughtless throng ; For I am only waiting here To hear the summons : " Child, come home !"
2. I'm trusting Jesus Christ for all, I know His blood now speaks for me ; I'm listening for the welcome call, To say : " The Master waiteth thee ! "
3. I'm now enraptured with the thought â I stand and wonder at His love â That He from heaven to earth was brought To die, that I might live above.
4. I know that Jesus soon will come ; I know the time will not be long, Till I shall reach my heavenly home, And join the everlasting song.
