Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
O land of rest, for thee I sigh; When will the moment come, When I shall lay my armor by, And dwell in peace at home?
Verse 2
No tranquil joys on earth I know, No peaceful shelt'ring dome; This world's a wilderness of woe, This world is not my home.
Verse 3
To Jesus Christ I fled for rest; He bade me cease to roam, And lean for succor on His breast, Till He conduct me home.
Chorus
We'll work (We'll work) till Jesus comes, We'll work (We'll work) till Jesus comes, We'll work (We'll work) till Jesus comes, And we'll be gathered home.
