138. When I Shall See Jesus

1 When in His beauty the King I shall see,
Chris the Redeemer once wounded for me;
See Him who died on the cross for my sin,
That life eternal thro' grace I might win.

Chorus:
When I shall see Jesus
Some glorious day,
Earth's sorrows forgotten,
Tears all wiped away;
For all of life's toiling
'Twill richly repay,
When I shall see Jesus,
Some glorious day.

2 See Him exalted in glory on high,
No more for sinners to suffer and die;
No more despised and rejected of men,
Living in glory, forever to reign. [Chorus]

3 What tho' a pilgrim and stranger I roam?
I have a mansion in Heaven, my home;
There, while the ages unceasingly roll,
How I will praise Him for saving my soul! [Chorus]
