For Me! For Me!

Home at last

thy la­bor done

Safe and blest

the vic­to­ry won;

Jordan passed

from sin set free

Angels now have wel­comed thee.

Depth of mer­cy

oh

how sweet

Thus to rest at Je­sus’ feet

In yon world of light afar

Safe within the gate’s ajar!

When dark waves were beat­ing hard

Thy frail bark on Jor­dan’s flood

Thou didst sing so glad and free

Yes

the gate’s ajar for me.

One short day of joy be­low

Such as par­doned sin­ners know

Then away on wings of love

To thy home pre­pared ab­ove.

When earth’s songs have all been sung

Labor ended

tri­als done

We’ll meet again

oh

hap­py word!

And be for ev­er with the Lord.
