First Line: I know that Jesus ever lives,

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 —
I stand and wonder at His love —
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.
