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,
We'll work, till Jesus comes,
We'll work, till Jesus comes,
And we'll be gathered home.
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. [Chorus]
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]
4 I sought at once my Savior's side,
No more my steps shall roam;
With Him I'll brave death's chilling tide,
And reach my heav'nly home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: WE'LL WORK TILL JESUS COMES
We'll work till Jesus comes
