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.

2

Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessed face

And the luster of His kindly beaming eyes;

How my full heart will praise Him for the mercy, love, and grace

That prepared for me a mansion in the sky.

3

Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come,

And our parting at the river I recall;

To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home,

But I long to meet my Saviour first of all.

4

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.

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.
