Subject(s): Salvation
There is a time when longing fills the soul,
There is a time when first we look above, --
A time when first we long to be made whole,
Before we venture out upon His love,
There is a time when gladness fills our being,
A time when Jesus comes to reign supreme.
A glorious day we cannot help remember, --
-- After we ventured out, -- Oh praise His name.
O, dear remembered time, how dear I hold it,
When Jesus spoke sweet peace unto my soul.
Come, come my sisters and my earthly brothers
And hasten onward with me to the goal.
