Je Ne Sais Pas Le Jour

Representative Text

1 Je ne sais pas le jour où je verrai mon Roi,
Mais je sais qu’Il me veut dans sa sainte demeure;
La lumière vaincra les ombres à cette heure;
Ce sera la gloire pour moi.
Ce sera la gloire pour moi,
Ce sera la gloire pour moi,
La lumière vaincra les ombres à cette heure:
Ce sera la gloire pour moi.

2 Je ne sais quels seront lles chants des bienheureux,
Les acclamations des louanges angéliques,
Mais je sais que, joignant ma voix
Aux saints cantiques,
Bientôt j’adorerai comme eux.
Bientôt j’adorerai comme eux,
Bientôt j’adorerai comme eux.
Mais je sais que, joignant ma voix
Aux saints cantiques,
Bientôt j’adorerai comme eux.

3 Je ne sais quel sera le palais éternel,
Mais je sais que ma place y est déjà connue.
Un regard de Jésus sera ma bienvenue.
Pour moi, pour moi s’ouvre le ciel.
Pour moi, pour moi s’ouvre le ciel,
Pour moi, pour moi s’ouvre le ciel.
Un regard de Jésus sera ma bienvenue.
Pour moi, pour moi s’ouvre le ciel.
