Gems and Jewels ‎#28

28. We Know Not Yet

1 We know not yet what we shall be,
Tho’ now the Sons of God,
When robed in immortality
We rise above the sod.

Chorus:
But we know that when He shall appear,
We know that when He shall appear
We shall be like Him, we shall be like Him,
For we shall see Him as He is,
We shall be like Him, we shall be like Him,
For we shall see Him as He is.

2 We know not what our eyes shall see
Among the starry spheres;
What sounds of heav’nly melody
Shall greet our ravished ears. [Chorus]

3 We know not what the city is,
The Three, the Living Tide;
The scenes, the sounds, the loves, the bliss,
The Bridegroom and the Bride. [Chorus]
