84. The Prize Is Set Before Us

1 The prize is set before us,
To win, His words our Lord implore us,
The eye of God is o'er us
From on high;
His loving tones are calling,
While sin is dark, appalling,
'Tis Jesus gently calling,
He is nigh.

Chorus:
By and by we shall meet Him,
By and by we shall greet Him,
And with Jesus live in glory,
By and by;
By and by we shall meet Him,
By and by we shall greet Him,
And with Jesus live in glory,
By and by.

2 We'll follow where He leadeth,
We'll pasture where He feedeth,
We'll yield to Him who pleadeth
From on high;
Then naught from Him shall sever,
Our hope shall brighten ever,
And faith shall fail us never,
He is nigh. [Chorus]

3 Our home is bright above us,
No trials dark to move us,
But Jesus dear to love us
There on high;
We'll give Him best endeavor,
And praise His name forever;
His precious words can never,
Never die. [Chorus]
