Stanza: I know that my Redeemer lives and has prepared a place for me;
And crowns of victory He gives to those who would His children be.

Chorus: Then ask me not to linger long amid the gay and thoughtless throng;
For I am only waiting here to hear the summons, “Child come home.”

Stanza:I now enraptured with the thought, I stand and wonder at His love
That He from heaven to earth was brought, to die that I might live above.

Chorus: Then ask me not to linger long amid the gay and thoughtless throng;
For I am only waiting here to hear the summons, “Child come home.”

Stanza:I know that Jesus soon will come; I know that the time will not be long;
Till, I shall reach my heavenly home and join the everlasting song.

Chorus: Then ask me not to linger long amid the gay and thoughtless throng;
For I am only waiting here to hear the summons, “Child come home.”
