"We would see Jesus"

Author: Anon. Appears in 284 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus the great Rock Foundation, Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see his face. 3 We would see Jesus other lights are paling. Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing, We would not mourn them, for we go to thee. 4 We would see Jesus this is all we're needing, Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night!

Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.

Our God is near to help us, Our God is strong to save; The Lord alone is able To ransom from the grave. 3 Sing unto God, ye nations, Ye kingdoms of the earth; Sing unto God, all people, And praise His matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph Upon the heav'ns abroad; He speaks, the mountains tremble Before the voice of God. 4 All glory, might, and honor Ascribe to God on high; His arm protects His people Who on His pow'r rely.
