Text:We'll Work Till Jesus Comes
Author:Elizabeth Mills
Tune:[O land of rest, to thee I sigh]
Composer:William Miller

482. We'll Work Till Jesus Comes

1 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?

Chorus:
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
And we'll be gathered home.

2 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. (Chorus)

3 I sought at once my Savior's side,
No more my steps to roam;
With Him I'll brave death's chilling tide,
And reach my heav'nly home. (Chorus)
