1. At the cross I met the Master,
And His smile I’ll ne’er forget,
Or the words of blessed greeting to my soul;
Trusting on, I shall not falter,
For I’m trusting even yet,
In the One who made my sin-sick spirit whole.
Chorus:
Jesus met me there!
He lifted all my care;
I shall rise to meet Him,
Meet Him in the air, yes,
Jesus met me there!
He lifted all my care;
I shall rise to meet Him,
Meet Him in the air.
2. When I reach the silent river,
I will not embark alone,
But shall meet the expectation on its shore;
When my Pilot, there in waiting,
Guides me safely to my home,
Where my praises shall ascend forevermore.
3. O the joy of understanding,
Always how, and when, and where,
You can find His help so precious and so free;
In thy fullest joy or sorrow,
Go to Him in secret pray’r,
For such service doth thy King demand of thee.
