1 I have giv’n up all for Jesus— This vain world is naught to me; All its pleasures are forgotten In remembering Calvary; Though my friends despise, forsake me, And on me the world looks cold, I’ve a Friend that will stand by me When the pearly gates unfold! Refrain: Yes, life’s morn will soon be waning, And its evening bells will toll— But my heart will know no sadness When the pearly gates unfold! 2 When the voice of Jesus calls me, And the angels whisper low, I will lean upon my Savior Through the valley as I go; I will claim His precious promise, More to me than world of gold, "Fear no evil, I’ll be with thee, When the pearly gates unfold." [Refrain] 3 Just beyond the verge of Jordan, Just beyond its chilling tide, Blooms the tree of life immortal, And the living waters glide; In that happy land of spirits Flowers bloom on hills of gold, And the angels are awaiting Where the pearly gates unfold. [Refrain] | The Cyber Hymnal #11704 |
