Will He Bid Us Enter In?

Life is oft be­set with sor­rows

Trials come on ev­ery hand;

Fain would care­worn pil­grims bor­row

Pleasures from the glo­ry land;

But we bide our time with pa­tience

Waiting till our Lord shall come

Waiting till the Mas­ter bids us

Enter our eter­nal home.

Are we rea­dy? Are we rea­dy?

Will we hear the wel­come voice

Bid us en­ter in­to glo­ry

And with ran­somed souls re­joice?

Oft we stum­ble by the way­side

When temp­ta­tions spread around;

Thus to lure us from our du­ty

Satan seeks to drag us down;

But like ser­pent-bit­ten Is­ra­el

We can lift our trust­ing eyes

To the cross of our Re­deem­er

And our home be­yond the skies.

Yes

we’ll bide our time with pa­tience

Battling with the hosts of sin;

If we’re faith­ful to the Mas­ter

He will bid us en­ter in;

When we’ve passed the pear­ly gate­way

When we’ve reached the glo­ry land

Pain and tears will all be ban­ished

By the lov­ing Fa­ther’s hand.
