I Shall Know Him

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

He sings so beautiful! Thank you for the old hymns.  It is so good to hear them in a world where contempory is running rampant.

At his request I was the organist for my brothers home-going service. This is one of the songs I chose to play. Thank God for that day when redeemed by His side we shall stand.

Wonderful!!! Keep on singing God's praises.

[BrochRobert]

I agree. This is one of Fanny Crosby's finest hymns and it's sung beautifully. Let's have more of this.
