I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
As redeemed by His side I shall stand; I shall know Him, I shall know Him, By the prints of the nails in His hand.
When my life work is ended
And I cross the swelling tide, When "this mortal puts on immortality;" I shall know my Redeemer When I reach the other side, And His smile will be the First to welcome me.
Oh, the soul thrilling rapture
When I view His blessed face, And the luster of His kindly beaming eye; How my full heart will praise Him For the mercy, love, and grace, That prepares for me A mansion in the sky.
Oh, the dear ones departed!,
How the tender mem'ries come, And a farewell at the river I recall; In the sweet vales of Eden We shall meet no more to roam, But I long to meet my Savior first of all.
Thro' the gates to the city
In a robe of spotless white, He will lead me where no Tears shall ever fall; In the glad songs of ages I shall mingle with delight, But I long to meet my Savior first of all.
When my life work is ended and I cross the swelling tide, All lyrics, arrangements, music are the copyright of their respective owners and are provided here only to praise God and for educational purposes. |
