That he's prepared a home for me,
And crowns of victory he gives
To those who would his children be.
Chorus:
Then ask me not to mingle on
Amid the gay and thoughtless throng,
For I am only waiting here,
To hear the summons, “Child, come home;”
For I am only waiting here
To hear the summons, “Child, come home.”
2 I’m trusting Jesus Christ for all,
I know his blood atones for me,
I’m list'ning for the gentle call,
To say, “The Master waiteth thee.” [Chorus]
3 And now, bewildered at the thought,
I stand and wonder at his love,
How he from heav’n to earth was brought
To die, that I might live above. [Chorus]
4 I know that soon my Lord will come,
I know he will not tarry long,
I know he soon will call me home
To sing with joy the heav'nly song. [Chorus] Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Christian Life Assurance, Faith Scripture: Isaiah 47:4 Used With Tune: MY REDEEMER LIVES
