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.
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 blessèd 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.
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 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 Savior
first of all.
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.
Through 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 Savior
first of all.
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.
