I know that my Re­deem­er lives,
And has prepared a place for me,
And crowns of vic­to­ry He gives
To those who would His children be.

Refrain

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;
For I am only waiting here
To hear the summons: Child, come home!

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!

Refrain

I’m now enraptured with the thought,
I stand and wonder at His love—
That He from Heav’n to earth was brought,
To die, that I may live above.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
