O I WANT TO SEE HIM
1
As I journey thru the land
Singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary --
To the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul
From without, within;
But my Lord leads me on,
Thru Him I must win.
2
When in service for my Lord
Dark may be the night,
But I'll cling more close to Him,
He will give me light;
Satan's snares may vex the soul,
Turn my thoughts aside;
But my Lord Goes ahead,
Leads whate'er betide.
3
When in valleys low I look
Toward the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there,
Leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched,
Toward the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see,
As I onward go.
4
When before me billows rise
From the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark;
He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on
Through this world below;
He's a rea Friend to me,
O I love Him so.
CHORUS
O I want to see Him,
Look upon His face,
There to sing forever
Of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory
Let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, home at last,
Ever to rejoice.
R.H. Cornelius
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. ~I Corinthians 13.12
