494 ~ We Would See Jesus
1
"We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen Across the little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last conflict, in this mortal strife.
2
"We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation, Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, gazing on His face.
3
"We would see Jesus;" other lights are paling, Which for long years we did rejoice to see; The blessings of this sinful world are failing; We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.
4
"We would see Jesus;" this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Soon to return and end this mortal night!
