I Know That Jesus Ever Lives Lyrics

By George Stebbins & Ira Sankey

 I know that Jesus ever lives,

 And has prepared a place for me:

 And crowns of victory He gives

 To those who would His children be.



 Chorus

 Then ask me not to linger long

 Amid the gay and thoughtless throng;

 For I am only waiting here to hear the summons:

 "Child, come home!"

 For I am only waiting here to hear the summons:

 "Child, come home!"



 I'm trusting Jesus Christ for all,

 I know His blood now speaks for me;

 I'm list'ning for the welcome call,

 To say: "The Master waiteth thee!"



 I'm now enraptured with the thought,—

 I stand and wonder at His love—

 That He from heav'n to earth was brought

 To die, that I might live above.



 I know that Jesus soon will come;

 I know the time will not be long,

 Till I shall reach my heav'nly home,

 And join the everlasting song.
