11741. I Shall See Him By And By

1 When my heart is sad with life’s cares and toils,
I will hush my troubled spirit’s anxious cry;
For the day is coming fast,
When my cares shall all be past,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by!

Refrain:
I shall see Him! My Redeemer!
O my heart, be brave, be strong!
I shall see Him, and I’ll praise Him
With an everlasting song.

2 When the path is rough, and the way is hard,
And no resting for my weary feet is nigh;
I will bravely press along,
Singing still my hopeful song,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by! [Refrain]

3 When the day grows dark, and the clouds o’erhang,
And they close out all the sunshine from the sky;
Tho’ in darkness I abide, He is still my faithful guide,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by! [Refrain]

4 Then my heart be brave, and my soul rejoice,
For His promise standeth sure—on it rely;
And for all the care and pain
There shall be eternal gain,
When I see Him! When I see Him by and by! [Refrain]
