Lyrics

Verse 1

When Jesus comes again to gather His own,

And to the true, a crown is giv'n,

I want to hear Him say, "My servant, well done,

Thy soul shall know the joys of heav'n."

Verse 2

I want to tell to all the story of love,

That they may know His pardon free;

And there before His throne in glory above,

Receive a crown of victory.

Verse 3

I do not know the day my Savior will come,

But I must be prepared to go;

If I am ready He will call me His own,

And that's enough for me to know.

Chorus

I want to know that He will welcome me there,

I do not want to be denied;

I want to meet Him in that city so fair,

And ever there with Him abide.

Scriptural Foundations

Preference: NASB 2020
