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.
