Text: | O I Want to See Him |
Author: | R. H. Cornelius |
Tune: | [As I journey throu the land, singing as I go] |
Composer: | R. H. Cornelius |
1 As I journey thru the land singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary - to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, thru Him I must win.
Refrain:
O I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I'll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my tho'ts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide. [Refrain]
3 When in valleys low I look t'ward the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched t'ward the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go. [Refrain]
4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on thru this world below;
He's a real friend to me, O I love Him so. [Refrain]
