Shall I Be There?

By G. W. Howard

G. W. HOWARD
WHEN Jesus comes the second time, With all the holy angel band, To take his ransomed people home, Shall I among the righteous stand?
When heaven and earth shall pass away And no more place be found for them, Shall I find refuge in that day In him who died to save lost man?
When the new earth, where saints shall reign, Shall from this old earth's ashes rise, Shall I with all the faithful gain A home in that blest paradise?
That day is near when Christ will come, When Michael's trump will wake the dead. Shall I with saints be gathered home? Will joy and gladness crown my head?
These questions I must now decide, Nor wait until some future time. Lord, help me now, in thee I'll hide, Because tomorrow is not mine.
