How joyful it is to remain close to Jesus!
How blessed it is to live my life for Him!
My hope in Him keeps growing day by day,
And I long to live forever with Him.

2
He took away all my sins through His sacrifice,
And bore all my curse upon Himself.
The more I remember His love, the more my love grows,
And I long to dwell with Him forever— when will this be possible?

3
He is preparing a home for me in that glorious land,
A beautiful dwelling place for me.
In that eternal home, not made by human hands,
I eagerly wait for the day when I will live with Him.

4
When will my suffering in this world finally end?
On that day, surely all my sorrow will disappear.
Then, together with His holy people, I will sing His praises—
What a glorious gathering that will be!

5
O Good One, O Beloved, O precious Lord!
Will You come and take me to Yourself to end all my troubles?
With incomparable joy, holding our harps,
We will sing Hallelujah and live with You forever.
