LyicsCome, my Christian brethren come,
Let us onward to our home;
Though we many trials meet,
Jesus makes our trials sweet.
CHORUS
We with Jesus soon shall be
Happy in eternity;
By our Father's side sit down:
They that conquer shall wear the crown.
Brother Christian, doubt no more,
Christ, your Savioiur's gone before
He himself has marked the way,
Leading to eternal day.
We with Jesus, etc.
Let us never be afraid,
'Tis on Christ our help is laid;
He will all our foes o'ercome,
He will take his exiles home.
We with Jesus, etc.
Though the world revile and mock,
We are built upon the Rock;
And while thus we dwell secure,
Christ will make our goings sure.
We with Jesus, etc.
