The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#50

50. Just to Be With My Lord

1 Just to be with the Lord whom I adore!
Just to worship at his feet!
Just to sing to his praise as ne’er before,
If for such a service meet.

Refrain:
Just to be with the Lord whom I adore!
Just to serve him with gladness evermore!
Just the loving hands to see
That were pierced to ransom me!
Just to tell him I love him, o’er and o’er!

2 Just to sit at his feet and learn of him,
What, before, I could not know!
See him, not thro’ a glass by shadows dim,
As I see him here below! [Refrain]

3 Just to grow, in the brightness of his face,
More like him as ages roll!
Just to stand as a triumph of his grace,
And his wondrous love extol! [Refrain]

4 Just to know, gracious Lord, thy blessed will,
And to do it day by day;
Just my place in the harvest field to fill,
While I labor, love and pray! [Refrain]

5 Grant, O Lord! I thy will may ever know,
Thro’ the grace bestowed in love;
So to live and thy love to others show,
I may dwell with thee above. [Refrain]
