O land of rest, for thee I sigh!
When will the moment come
When I shall lay my armor by
And dwell in peace at home?
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
And we値l be gathered home.
No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful shelt'ring dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe;
This world is not my home.
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
And we値l be gathered home.
To Jesus Christ I fled for rest;
He bade me cease to roam,
And lean for comfort on His breast
Till He conduct me home.
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
And we値l be gathered home.
I sought at once my Savior痴 side;
No more my steps shall roam.
With Him I値l brave death痴 chilling tide
And reach my heav地ly home.
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
We値l work till Jesus comes,
And we値l be gathered home.
