I Know Not

Author: John McPherson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2862 First Line: I know not how soon God will call me Refrain First Line: I'm glad that I know not the coming Lyrics: 1. I know not how soon God will call me, To leave all these scenes here below; Here trials and troubles befall me, I care not how soon I may go. Refrain I’m glad that I know not the coming Of Jesus, my Master, my joy; But soon He will take me from roaming, To rest where no fears can annoy. 2. Tonight the death angel may whisper The summons for me to come home; And leave here a brother or sister, My sudden departure to mourn. [Refrain] 3. I know not how soon I’ll be singing Sweet songs with the ransomed up there; For ever the anthems are ringing, O’er Heaven’s dear landscape so fair. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: HUATULCO
