The Voice of Praise ‎#57

57. I Shall Be Like Him

1 When I shall reach the more excellent glory,
And all my trials are passed,
I shall behold him, O wonderful story!
I shall be like him at last.

Chorus:
I shall be like him, I shall be like him,
And in his beauty shall shine;
I shall be like him, wondrously like him,
Jesus, my Saviour divine.

2 We shall not wait till the glorious dawning
Breaks on the vision so fair,
Now we may welcome that heavenly morning,
Now we his image may bear. [Chorus]

3 More and more like him, repeat the blest story,
Over and over again,
Changed by his spirit from glory to glory,
I shall be satisfied then. [Chorus]
