1 Min framtidsdat är ljus och lång,
Den räcker bortom tidens tvång,
Där Gud och Lammet säll jag ser
Och ingen nöd skal vara mer.

3 Pris vare Gud, som ställt det så!
Nu slipper jag att ängslig gå.
För mig han ensam sörja vill,
Och då bör jag eg hjälpa till.

4 Så har jag frid uti min själ
Och sjunger glad: Nu allt är väl.
Jag vandrar trygg vid Faderns hand,
Han leder mig till livets land.

5 Men, Herre Jesus, lär du mig
Att leva mera helt för dig
Den lilla tid jag har igen
På vägen hem till himmelen.
