Text:Shall I Be There?
Tune:[Around the great white throne some day]
Composer:J. M. Hunt

22. Shall I Be There?

1. Around the great white throne some day,
Dear friends shall gathered be,
Around the great white throne, O God,
Shall I be there with Thee?

Chorus:
Shall I be there, shall I be there,
When friends shall gathered be,
Around the great white throne, O God,
Shall I be there with Thee?

2. Around the great white throne, sweet tho't,
I may be kneeling there,
For Christ has said there is a way
It may be found by pray'r. [Chorus]

3. Teach me the way, O Saviour, dear;
I am so weak in prayer;
Oh, that I may not go astray,
I want to meet Thee there. [Chorus]
