Shall I be There?

By C. M. Willis.

WHEN the great white throne appears, When the Son of man draws near, When the saints meet in the air, Shall I be there?
When we hear with glad surprise, The last trumpet rend the skies; While the dead in Christ arise; Shall I be there?
When lost friend with friend shall meet, And with joy their Saviour greet, Worshiping at his dear feet, Shall I be there?
When God's glory is revealed, And his people all are sealed, All their woes and sorrows healed, Shall I be there?
When the new Jerusalem Shall come down to dwell with men, And the ransomed enter in, Shall I be there?
Oh a great work must be done, To prepare me for that home: All before my Lord shall come To take his own.
But the blood of Christ alone Can for my deep guilt atone, Fit, O fit me, blessed One, To enter there.
C. M. Willis. Charlotte, Mich.
