I SHALL KNOW HIM
1. When my life-work is ended, and I
cross the swelling tide,
When the bright and glorious
morning I shall see;
I shall know my Redeemer when I
reach the other side,
And His smile will be the first to
welcome me.
Chorus:
I shall know Him, I shall know
Him,
And redeemed by His side I shall
stand;
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the print of the nails in His hand.
2. 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 prepare for me a mansion in
the sky.
3. Thro’ the gates to the city in a robe
of spotless white,
He will lead me where no tears will
ever fall;
In the glad song of ages I shall
mingle with delight:
But I long to meet my Saviour first
of all.
