I bear with pa­tience ev­ery care,
And watch and pray and wait;
For soon the life-crown I shall wear
Beyond the pear­ly gate.

Refrain

Beyond the beau­ti­ful gate above,
How hap­py I shall be;
At rest with Je­sus and those I love,
For all eter­ni­ty.

In vain the storms of life will sweep
Upon my trust­ing soul,
For I am sure the Lord will keep
And safe­ly guide thru all.

Refrain

For me my friends in glo­ry wait,
And soon I’ll cease to roam,
And meet them at the pear­ly gate
Of my eter­nal home.

Refrain

My soul is rest­ing in His love,
And He will lead me right,
Till I am safe with Him above,
Where life is sweet and bright.
