I am bound for heaven and I'll join my Lord.
                             CHORUS
                    I am rising on a stairway to heaven,
                  I am rising up where a crown is awaiting;
             I'm ascending in fine light, I'm ascending with my Christ.
                   I'll be singing praises to the Lord above!
                    I am rising on a stairway to heaven;
                    I am rising. there a crown is awaiting.
                       I'm ascending in fine light,
                      I'm ascending with my Christ;
                    I'm ascending to my home on high,
                   I rise with Christ to my celestial home.
                                2
                  Every day I want my love to grow intensely,
                  Every day I will be faithful, more and more;
                 His abundant grace will be my only resource,
                  Our celestial Father grants His grace to us.
                                3
                  I am satisfied when I give hope to sinners,
                Poor and rich no matter what the case may be;
               Jesus died upon the cross and took their burdens,
                   And He gave humanity God's salvation.
          414.  OH, DO NOT LET THE WORD DEPART

                      Oh, do not let the word depart,
                   And close thine eyes against the light;
                    Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
                         Be saved, oh, tonight.
                             CHORUS
               //Oh, join us with haste// Wilt thou accept Jesus?
                         He could save you too.
                                2
                     Tomorrow's sun may never rise,
                     To bless thy long-deluded sight;
                       This is the time of salvation,

                                THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL,  345
