1 I can face all trials here,
With a faith that must prevail,
God has giv’n this word to me that cannot fair.

Refrain:
Beloved, beloved,
“Now are we the sons of God,”
And it doth not yet appear what we shall be;
But we know that when He shall appear,
But we know that when He shall appear,
We shall be like Him,
We shall be like Him,
For we shall see Him as He is,
Hallelujah!

2 Stumbling often, kept from all,
Only by my Saviour’s grace,
I shall wrestle on until I see His face. [Refrain]

3 “Now are we the sons of God,’
This is consolation here,
But we shall be like Him when He shall appear. [Refrain]
