Lyrics

Oft I am so lone­ly,
In this world of care,
But I know in Glo­ry,
No sad ones dwell there.
Yes, I know, in Hea­ven,
Jesus waits for me;
When my work is end­ed,
I shall with Him be.

When I en­ter Hea­ven—
City, bright and fair,
He’ll be first to wel­come
Me, a child and heir
To those heav’n­ly trea­sures
Laid, by Christ, in store,
For the wea­ry tra­ve­ler
When this life is o’er.

Why, then, should I wan­der
Blindly here in sin,
When in Hea­ven yon­der
Is a crown to win.
O dear Sav­ior, guide me,
Keep me by Thy side;
May I now and ev­er
In Thy love abide.
