Come find in Him sweet home and rest,

Christ is waiting to save you,
For you He triumphed o’er the grave,
Christ is waiting to save you. [Refrain]

For you He conquered all His foes,
Christ is waiting to save you. [Refrain]

None ever perished at His feet,
Christ is waiting to save you. [Refrain]

Come, learn the song they chant above,
Christ is waiting to save you. [Refrain]

He’ll clothe you in His righteousness,
Christ is waiting to save you. [Refrain]
