There’s a voice full of sweetness and love, It is speaking so kindly to me: “I will lead you to bright realms above, Where the spirit forever is free.”
Refrain: I am waiting, I am longing for the summons to come, When from sorrow and trouble I’m free; When with Jesus I am reigning in that heavenly home, Where forever its beauties I’ll see.
When I look o’er the past, I behold How His wide arms of mercy held me; Oh, His sweet love and peace are untold, In His favor I’m happy and free.
There’s a sweet voice that calls o’er and o’er, It is cheering my spirit today; Since my treasure is on yonder shore, I must gain it and live there for aye.
I forget all the things that are past, I am looking to glories divine; I shall reap my reward at the last, For my Jesus, dear Savior, is mine.
