| Lyrics |
1. Awake, awake the morning dawns,
Behold the opening day;
Arise and hast with courage bold,
To run the heavenly way;
For weary souls a rest remains,
The end of toils, the end of pains.
We soon shall break the earthly chains
Thro' grace we'll soon be there.
Chorus:
We'll work and wait till Jesus comes,
We'll work and wait till Jesus comes,
We'll work and wait till Jesus comes,
And then be gathered home.
2. Rejoice in hope, O trembling soul,
Lift up thy tearful eys,
And in the strength of Christ, theLord,
Press onward to the prize.
A crown of gold, a robe of white,
A victor palm of glory bright,
Are waiting in that world of light,
Thro' grace we'll soon be there.
3. O may the fruits of joy and peace
Within our souls abound,
And in the vineyard of the Lord
His children still be found;
Then safely on the other shore,
Our trials pas our journey o'er,
We'll sing with dear ones gone before
Praise God! We're home at last.
