283 - Quero, ó Senhor, ir Contigo ao céu - Inglês - CCB/CCUS

283. For Thy kingdom, Lord, earnestly I wait 1. The hope eternal in me shall not waver; I know in heaven one day I shall be. I’ll reign forever with my Lord and Savior; What joy unending there awaiteth me! For Thy kingdom, Lord, earnestly I wait; Thy splendor there, I’ll contemplate. I know I’ll receive from Thy hands , O Lord, My everlasting treasure and reward. 2. I’ll be a witness here with joy and gladness; The love of Jesus I shall manifest. My Lord unfailing took away my sadness; New life He gave, and with His peace I’m blest. 3. I live in hope and with Thy consolation; I have the peace that only comes from Thee. Within me lives the glorious expectation Of the inheritance waiting me.
