I Shall Know Him - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

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
