Cântăre Bright anticipation

1. There’s a voice full of sweetness and love,

It is speaking so kindly to me:

"I will lead you to bright realms above,

Where the spirit forever is free."



R: I am waiting, I am longing for the summons to come,

When from sorrow and trouble I’m free;

When with Jesus I am reigning in that heavenly home,

Where forever its beauties I’ll see.



2. When I look o’er, the past I behold

How His wide arms of mercy held me;

Oh, His sweet love and peace are untold,

In His favor I’m happy and free.



3. There’s a sweet voice that calls o’er and o’er,

It is cheering my spirit today;

Since my treasure is on yonder shore,

I must gain it and live there for aye.



4. I forget all the things that are past,

I am looking to glories divine;

I shall reap my reward at the last,

For my Jesus, dear Savior, is mine.
