I Shall See My Savior's Face

Author: Chas. Reign Scoville Hymnal: The King of Glory #74 (1918) Refrain First Line: I shall see Him face to face Lyrics: 1 I shall see my Savior’s face, When I reach that happy place Just beyond the silent river by and by; Oh, how happy I will be, When His glory I shall see, And I’ll dwell with Him forever, by and by. Refrain: I shall see Him face to face, I shall know His boundless grace, When I reach the Holy City by and by; All my hopes I’ll realize, In that home beyond the skies, When I see Him in His beauty by and by. 2 I shall see the nail-pierc’d hand, When I reach the golden strand, ‘Twill extend to me a welcome by and by; I shall see the wounded side, From which flow’d the crimson tide, And I’ll praise Him for redemption, by and by. [Refrain] 3 I shall see my mother’s face, For she too was sav’d by grace, And with Jesus she will meet me by and by; With our lov’d ones we will be, There with Christ eternally, No more parting at the river by and by. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I shall see my Savior's face]
