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,Where on our feet were set with sovereign 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!
