I Shall Know Him Songtext

von Sister Rosetta Tharpe

When my life's work is ended and I cross the swelling tide
When the bright and glorious morning I shall see
I shall know my Redeem when I reach the other side
His smile will be the first to welcome me

I shall know Him, I shall know Him
And redeemed by His side I shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the print of the nails in His hand

Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessed face
And the luster of His kindly beaming eye
How my heart will praise Him for His mercy and His grace
That prepared for me a mansion in the sky

Through the gates of the city in a robe of spotless white
He will lead me where no tears will ever fall
In the glad song of ages I will mingle with delight
But I long to see my Saviour first of all
