We'll Work Till Jesus Comes

Verse 1
O land of rest, for thee I sigh! (II Cor. 5:2)
When will the mo­ment come
When I shall lay my ar­mor by
And dwell in peace at home?

Chorus
We’ll work till Je­sus comes, (Luke 19:13)
We’ll work till Je­sus comes,
We’ll work till Je­sus comes,
And we’ll be ga­thered home. (Matt. 24:31, I Thess. 4:17, II Thess. 2:1)

Verse 2
To Je­sus Christ I fled for rest; (Matt. 11:28-29)
He bade me cease to roam, (Isa. 53:6, I Pet. 2:25)
And lean for com­fort on His breast (John 13:23, John 13:25, John 21:20)
Till He con­duct me home. (John 14:2-3)

Verse 3
I sought at once my Sav­ior’s side;
No more my steps shall roam. (Ps. 16:8)
With Him I’ll brave death’s chill­ing tide (Isa. 43:2)
And reach my heav’n­ly home.
