Author: Charles B. Wycuff Hymnal: Melodies of Love #21 First Line: Once a man named Stephen Refrain First Line: "I see Jesus, standing at the Father's right hand Lyrics: 1 Once a man named Stephen, preached about the Lord,
Folks were saved and folks were healed, as they heard his word;
Satan did not like it, soon he had his crowd,
And as he was tried they heard Stephen cry aloud.
Refrain:
"I see Jesus, standing at the Father's right hand,
I see Jesus, yonder in the promised land;
Work is over, now I'm coming to Thee,
I see Jesus, standing, waiting for me."
2 As the stones fell on Him, beating out His life,
Stephen knew He'd soon be thru, with all toil and strife;
So much like the Master, with a heart so true,
he prayed "Lord forgive for they know not what they do." [Refrain]
3 Thru the gates of glory, down the streets of gold,
Marched a hero of the Lord, into heaven's fold;
When he met the Savior, at the great white throne,
I believe, He smiled and said, "Stephen, welcome home." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once a man named Stephen]
