I am still rejoicing in victory, The spirit of God abides in me; Ev'ry day is bringing me nearer to My wonderful home beyond the blue. Chorus: I long for the day, the wonderful day, When Jesus shall call His children away, To live in His glory forever up there, That heavenly splendor with angels to share, Oh I am longing for that sweet day. We must keep on pressing the battle here, We know the sweet day is very near; When He'll call His children from ev'ry land, Together to dwell at His right hand. (Chorus) Will you pray, my brother, that we may meet, And worship again at Jesus' feet? All one band together in harmony, To praise His sweet name eternally. (Chorus)
