Author: Caroline Sawyer Hymnal: Revival Praises #142 (1907) First Line: If you could see Christ standing here tonight Refrain First Line: Would you believe, and Jesus receive Lyrics: 1 If you could see Christ standing here tonight,
His thorn-crown'd head and pierced hands could view;
Could see those eyes that beam with heav'ns own light,
And hear Him say--"Beloved, 'twas for you."
Chorus:
Would you believe, and Jesus receive
If He were standing here?
Would you believe and Jesus receive
If He was standing here?
2 If you could see that face, so calm and sweet,
Those lips that spake words only pure and true;
Could see the nail prints in His tender feet;
And hear Him say--"Beloved, 'twas for you."
Chorus:
Would you believe, and Jesus receive
If He were standing here?
Would you believe and Jesus receive
If He was standing here?
3 He whispers to your heart, turn not away,
For He's beside you, in your narrow pew;
If you will listen, you will hear Him say,
In loving tones--"Beloved, 'twas for you."
Chorus:
Will you believe, and Jesus receive
For He is standing here;
Will you believe and Jesus receive?
For He is standing here. Tune Title: [If you could see Christ standing here tonight]
Would You Believe?
