I want to be there, I want to be there,
I want to be there, I want to be there,
Let all the sons of light
In a faith that dares to stand,
All Christ­ians who work in the field,
The Fa­ther on His sap­phire throne,
Hushed my heart to listen,
Of the sons of God to come,
In that ci­ty are loved ones await­ing my com­ing,
Promised in their faithful word;
Containing Thee, Thy fulness to express;
Met in Thy name, we look to Thee,
He’s joyful and radiant,
With His Son identified.
Shall man, the lord of na­ture,
And hope­less of the dist­ant shore
While living in the Lord.
day by day
A life loving and true comfort giving.
with the throb of deep desire.

Expect

I want to be there, I want to be there,
I want to be there, I want to be there,
Unlooked for, in the dead of night,
With an open, outstretched hand.
Must work till the Lord shall ap­pear,
Ride on! ride on in ma­jes­ty!
Speak, O blessed Master,
That they all may free become.
O when shall I en­ter my man­sion in Heav­en,
Let creation praise its Lord,
And hope to share the new Jerusalem,
Thee we ex­pect, our faith­ful Lord,
His Life in the glory
Sons of God revealed to be,
Shall man alone, un­thank­ful,
Then to the Lord they raise their cries;
Boldness with every breath.
But when Jesus comes the meeting starts that
Not accepting solace or praise;
a quiet in the air;
