1 verse:
I know that my Redeemer lives,
That He's prepared a home for me,
And crowns of victory He gives
To those who would His children be.
Chorus:
Then ask me not to mingle on
Amid the gay and thoughtless throng,
||: For I am only waiting here
To hear the summons, "Child, come home!" :||
2 verse:
I'm trusting Jesus Christ for all;
I know His blood atones for me;
I'm list'ning for the welcome call,
To say, "The Master waiteth thee!"
3 verse:
And now, bewildered at the thought,
I stand and wonder at His love,
How He from heav'n to earth was brought
To die, that I might live above.
4 verse:
I know that soon my Lord will come;
I know He will not tarry long;
I know He soon will call me home
To sing with joy the heav’nly song.
