Meaning:
1
Jesus, my compassionate Emmanuel,
is always sweet to me—oh, always so sweet.
What comfort I find because I have come near to Him,
what wonderful comfort!
To see His holy face
is joy beyond measure—
the greatest joy of all.
2
Why should I wander restlessly?
Why should I struggle here on earth?
He is more than enough for me—
yes, He is always enough.
He cares for me,
and He will always take care of me.
When I come under His shelter,
I find rest—
what wonderful rest!
3
Though I am a stranger and pilgrim on this earth,
this is not my permanent home.
My lasting home will be in heaven—
yes, in heaven.
Until that day comes,
I will remain here on earth,
living for Him and waiting for Him.
Then He will come,
and I will be united with Him forever.
