So I Can Wait

I know that Heav’n lies just be­yond

This earth­ly state

this earth­ly state;

That Christ Him­self holds death’s cold wand;

So I can wait

so I can wait.

I know the dark mys­ter­ious ways

My feet may tread

my feet may tread

Will all be plain when heav’n­ly rays

Are on them shed

are on them shed.

I know the heart­aches of this life

Will all be healed

will all be healed

When the blest peace that ends earth’s strife

Shall be re­vealed

shall be re­vealed.

I know that ’mid the world’s tur­moil

God giv­eth rest

God giv­eth rest;

His arm is round me in its toil;

And I am blest

and I am blest.

I know that when my time shall come

To dwell above

to dwell ab­ove

Jesus His child will wel­come home

With ten­der­est love

with ten­der­est love.

His an­gel guards will op­en wide

Heav’n’s pear­ly gate

Heav’n’s pear­ly gate;

And I shall then be sa­tis­fied

So I can wait

so I can wait!
