249. I Want To See Jesus

1 There is one who loves me, loves me tenderly:
'Tis Jesus my Savior so true;
To redeem me He died on the cruel tree,
I want to see Jesus, don't you?

Chorus:
I want to see Jesus, don't you?
My Friend and my Savior so true,
When I reach the bright portals, the home of immortals,
I want to see Jesus, don't you?

2 When I'm weak and dismayed He is ever near;
My strength He doth ever renew;
And with comforting words He my heart doth cheer,
I want to see Jesus, don't you? [Chorus]

3 Interceding is He in the heav'nly place,
To God for His chosen, tho' few;
All sufficient for me is His boundless grace,
I want to see Jesus, don't you? [Chorus]

4 First of all I'm longing my Lord to see,
When trials and troubles are thro',
In that beautiful home He's prepared for me,
I want to see Jesus, don't you? [Chorus]
