I Shall Be Like Him Sometime

Representative Text

1 I shall be like Him, sometime, somewhere,
After my life-word is done;
For in His glory I then shall share,
Glory outshining the sun.

Refrain:
I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,
Like my dear Saviour divine;
I shall be like Him, sometime, somewhere,
And in His glory shall shine.

2 I shall be like Him, O wondrous grace,
Grace that amazes my soul;
Like Him when I shall behold His face,
Like Him while ages shall roll. [Refrain]

3 I shall be like Him, my Lord and King,
Whom I shall see as He is;
Now and forever His praise I’ll sing,
For He is mine, I am His. [Refrain]
