Lyics

When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to ev'ry fear
And wipe my weeping eyes.


We'll wait, with joyful songs of praise, till Jesus come,
We'll wait, with joyful songs of praise, till Jesus come,
And we'll be gather'd home.


Should earth against my soul engage, 
And hellish darts be hurl'd,
Then I would smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.


Let cares like a wild deluge come 
And storms of sorrow fall,
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all.
