I’m wait­ing at the por­tal.

I said to my soul, Can that pro­mise be thine?
I said to my soul, Can that pro­mise be thine?
I said to my soul, Can that pro­mise be thine?
And that is the ci­ty
Let plen­te­ous grace des­cend on those
They, un­linked with earth­ly trou­ble,
Oh the wea­ry days of wan­d’ring,
Stumbling and fall­ing in di­sas­trous night,
Resting where our souls must cling,
To re­ceive a crown of life.
For Thy Spir­it’s ra­di­ance bright
Tho’ I am not rea­dy yet.
We’re a lit­tle miss­ion band,
Quit, O quit this mor­tal frame!
Tho’ He has tar­ried so long.
Casting all my care on Thee,
For the truth can all things bear;

hop­ing

When my hour is ful­ly come,
Looking to Je­sus, Sav­ior di­vine;
I hoped He was mine, yes, I hoped He was mine;
I hoped He was mine, yes, I hoped He was mine;
I hoped He was mine, yes, I hoped He was mine;
Oh, that beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful city…
This day have pub­lic­ly de­clared
How such ho­ly me­mo­ries clus­ter,
These at last all lie be­hind us,
Yes, Thou art still the life; Thou art the way
Glorious hopes our spir­it fill,
For a home of bound­less love;
If Thou shouldst with­hold the light,
In his wild sa­tan­ic glee,
Toiling for the hea­then land—
O the pain, the bliss of dy­ing!
He is pre­par­ing a place;
Have com­pas­sion, Lord, on me!
Ever watch­ing un­to pray­er.
