And He is preparing a place
For me in His home above,
Where I shall behold His face,

My Savior’s beauty and His grace;
More fair than I can dream, His face,
Whom, having not seen, I love. [Refrain]
3 The precious hope I have each day
Illumines all my earthly way,
That He will take me home to stay,
Whom, having not seen, I love. [Refrain]

My pilgrim journey I pursue,
And try my Savior’s will to do,
Whom, having not seen, I love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A Friend have I who standeth near]
