I Shall Know Him lyrics

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
