Will There Be One Soul to Greet Me?

Soon I’ll cross the mys­tic riv­er

Soon my la­bors will be o’er

Soon my boat shall reach the land­ing

Soon my feet shall press the shore.

Help me

help me now

my Sav­ior

Wandering souls to win for Thee

Souls to shine in heav’n­ly man­sions

Throughout all eter­ni­ty.

Will there be one soul to greet me

Out of all that hap­py band

One that I have helped to res­cue

Guided to the shin­ing strand?

Will some­one then say with rap­ture

It was you who showed the way

Led me to a gra­cious Sav­ior

Sought me when I went astray?

O the bliss be­yond ex­press­ion

O the joy se­rene and pure!

Lord for this I’ll glad­ly la­bor

All the heat and toil en­dure!

If I may

for Thine own king­dom

Win but one dear blood-bought soul

’Twill be pre­cious com­pen­sa­tion

When I’ve reached

at last

the goal.
