When Jesus comes again to gather His own, And to the true, a crown is giv’n, I want to hear Him say, “My servant, well done, Thy soul shall know the joys of heav’n.” (I want to know that He will welcome me there,) I want to know that He will welcome me there, (I do not want to be denied;) I do not want to be denied; (I want to meet Him in that city so fair,) I want to meet Him in that city so fair, And ever there with Him abide. 1-4 Words and Music by J. W. Gaines

I want to tell to all the story of love, When Jesus Comes I want to tell to all the story of love, That they may know His pardon free; And there before His throne in glory above, Receive a crown of victory. (I want to know that He will welcome me there,) I want to know that He will welcome me there, (I do not want to be denied;) I do not want to be denied; (I want to meet Him in that city so fair,) I want to meet Him in that city so fair, And ever there with Him abide. 2-4

He’s coming back again, His jewels to claim, When Jesus Comes He’s coming back again, His jewels to claim, They shall receive eternal rest; ’Tis sweet to know that all who come in His name, Shall there be numbered with the blest. (I want to know that He will welcome me there,) I want to know that He will welcome me there, (I do not want to be denied;) I do not want to be denied; (I want to meet Him in that city so fair,) I want to meet Him in that city so fair, And ever there with Him abide. 3-4

I do not know the day my Savior will come, When Jesus Comes I do not know the day my Savior will come, But I must be prepared to go; If I am ready He will call me His own, And that’s enough for me to know. (I want to know that He will welcome me there,) I want to know that He will welcome me there, (I do not want to be denied;) I do not want to be denied; (I want to meet Him in that city so fair,) I want to meet Him in that city so fair, And ever there with Him abide. 4-4
