LyicsCome, my Christian brethren, come,
Let us onward to our home;
Though we many trials meet,
Jesus makes our trials sweet.
Brother Christian, doubt no more,
Christ your Savior's gone before;
He himself has marked the way,
Leading to eternal day.
CHORUS
We with Jesus soon shall be,
Happy in eternity;
By our Father's side sit down,
They that conquer shall wear the crown.
Let us never be afraid;
'T is on Christ our help is laid:
He will all our foes o'ercome,
He will take his exiles home.
Though the world revile and mock,
We are built upon the Rock;
And, while thus we dwell secure,
Christ will make our goings sure.
