Christ in Song 566

I SHALL BE SATISFIED

Words: E. R. LattaMusic: J. H. Brubaker

1Soul and spirit, flesh and dwelling, Sheltered by the circle of grace,
I shall be satisfied when I awake in thy likeness, I shall be satisfied then.
Patient wait God's time for giving, Warmth and thought too lily-like,
Born of God, he shall not die, Who are here with all the grace.

RefrainSoon shall come the Prince of Peace,
For the highest one of all,
Then shall each well last one day,
When the soul is sat - is - fied,
I shall be sat-is-fied when I awake, I shall be satisfied.
I shall be sat-is-fied when I awake, I shall be satisfied.

2I shall be satisfied when I awake, I shall be satisfied
I shall be satisfied when I awake, I shall be satisfied
