Author: Anna B. Warner, 1820-1915 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #360 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration 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 by sov'reign grace;
Nor life, nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away.
We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding
What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION (Mendelssohn)
We Would See Jesus
