If I leave this world of sorrow
Sometime before you do
Just look for me in heaven
And we'll talk the ages through
But if at first you fail to see me
Let me tell you where I'll be
I'll be thanking Christ my Savior
For saving a wretch like me
But if you should reach that city
Before my time has come
Perhaps you would like to greet me
When my race down here is run
Oh, just wait for I'll soon be coming
Across life's ebbing sea
And I'll tell you now, dear loved one
Just where to wait for me
Don't look near the gates of pearl
Don't look on the streets of gold
Don't look by the walls of jasper
Nor among the many sights untold
For I'm belonging and I've been waiting
For the precious holy one to see
There I'll be through the countless ages
Oh, look for me at Jesus' feet
There I'll be through the countless ages
Look for me at Jesus' feet
Thank you.
