9065. He'll Come For Me

1 Soon I will hear my Lord say, "Come,"
To dwell with Him in yonder home,
And when life’s daylight fades away,
He’ll come for me at close of day.

Refrain:
He’ll come for me, He’ll come for me,
To spend with Him eternity;
If here I love Him and obey,
He’ll come for me at close of day.

2 What tho’ the way is all unknown,
Yet I will not be all alone;
My Savior will point out the way,
And come for me at close of day. [Refrain]

3 T’ward that fair mansion in the skies,
I often look with longing eyes;
But tho’ God wills me now to stay,
He’ll come for me at close of day. [Refrain]

4 I want to do for God my best,
Before I enter into rest;
Then when I leave this house of clay,
He’ll come for me at close of day. [Refrain]
