I shall see him in the glory
I shall see the King in His beauty,
In the land that is far away,
When the shadows at length have lifted,
And the darkness has turned to day.
Refrain:
I shall see Him in the glory,—
The Lamb that once was slain;
How I’ll then resound the story,
With all the ransomed train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb that once was slain;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah! Amen.
To behold the Chief of Ten Thousand,
Ah! my soul this were joy enough;
‘Twill suffice for the bliss of heaven,
That the Lamb is the light thereof.
Refrain:
I shall see Him in the glory,—
The Lamb that once was slain;
How I’ll then resound the story,
With all the ransomed train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb that once was slain;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah! Amen.
Who can tell the rapturous meeting,
When the Lord shall bring home His own?
With one sight all His saints are ravished,
The Lamb in the midst of the throne.
Refrain:
I shall see Him in the glory,—
The Lamb that once was slain;
How I’ll then resound the story,
With all the ransomed train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb that once was slain;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah! Amen.
Oh! to none will the King be a stranger
Of the throngs who surround His seat;
For the hearts of the saved will know Him,
By the prints of the nails in His feet.
Refrain:
I shall see Him in the glory,—
The Lamb that once was slain;
How I’ll then resound the story,
With all the ransomed train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb that once was slain;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah! Amen.
I shall see Him, I shall be like Him,
By one glance of His face transformed;
And this body of sin and darkness
To the image of Christ conformed.
Refrain:
I shall see Him in the glory,—
The Lamb that once was slain;
How I’ll then resound the story,
With all the ransomed train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb that once was slain;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah! Amen.
