1
When my life work is ended
And I cross the swelling tide
When the bright and glorious morning I shall see
I shall know my Redeemer
When I reach the other side
And 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
2
Oh the soul thrilling rapture
When I view His blessed face
And the luster of His kindly beaming eye
How my full heart will praise Him
For the mercy love and grace
That prepare for me a mansion in the sky
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
3
Oh the dear ones in glory
How they beckon me to come
And our parting at the river I recall
To the sweet vales of Eden
They will sing my welcome home
But I long to meet my Savior first of all
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
4
Through the gates to 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 shall mingle with delight
But I long to meet my Savior first of all
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
