1."We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthenAcross the little landscape of our life;We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthenFor the last conflict in this mortal strife.2."We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation,Whereon our feet were set with sov'reign grace;Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,Can thence remove us, gazing on his face.3."We would see Jesus;" other lights are paling,Which for long years we did rejoice to see;The blessings of this sinful world are failing;We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.4."We would see Jesus;" this is all we're needing,Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,Soon to return and end this mortal night!
