494- We Would See Jesus

Christian Life: Meditation and Prayer

1

  • "We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen
  • Across the little landscape of our life;
  • We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
  • For the last conflict, in this mortal strife.

2

  • "We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation,
  • Whereon 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!
