By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."

I’m seeking a home thro’ trials severe; But grace will sustain when trials appear; I’ll labor and pray and daily press on, E’er trusting the Lord, He’ll not leave me alone.
Chorus
By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."

By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."
