I Shall Know Him

When my life's work is ended and I cross the swelling tide When the bright and glorious morning I shall see I shall know my Redeem when I reach the other side His smile will be the first to welcome me 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 Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessed face And the luster of His kindly beaming eye How my heart will praise Him for His mercy and His grace That prepared for me a mansion in the sky Through the gates of 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 will mingle with delight But I long to see my Saviour first of all
