Author: E.C. Hewett Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I know not where those mansions are Refrain First Line: And I shall be satisfied, yes, I shall be satisfied Lyrics: 1 I know not where those mansions are, That hands have never wrought, Those radiant, homes, whose glories rare, Excel all human thought; But this I know, when man redeem’d, From sin and sorrow free, Shall reach his heav’nly dwelling-place, There shall the Master be. Refrain: And I shall be satisfied, yes, I shall be satisfied, For there shall the Master be; And I shall be satisfied, yes, I shall be satisfied, For there shall the Master be. 2 I know not what companionship Shall bless the ransomed soul, What dear delights of friend with friend, While endless cycles roll; But this I know, the Friend whose smile Shall make the light of heav’n, Is he who bore our load of sin, That we might be forgiv’n. [Refrain] 3 I know not what the blest pursuits, Of heav’n’s eternal day, What deeds of love, what thoughts of joy, Make bright their happy way; But this I know, no glad employ The shining hours can fill, To be compared with praising Christ, And doing his sweet will. [Refrain] 4 I cannot tell what bodies clothe The saints in that far land, What grace, what beauty deck their forms, As near the throne they stand; But this I know, each shall be like His Lord the crucified; And when his image I shall bear, I shall be satisfied.
