1 We know not how soon His return will be,
We know not the time nor when;
But we know when He cometh
His face we shall see,
And we shall be like Him then.

Refrain:
Yes, we shall be like Him then,
Yes, we shall be like Him then;
We know not the hour
When our Lord will come,
But we shall be like Him then.

2 We know not the splendor of yonder home,
We know not the mansions fair;
But we know when He cometh
No more shall we roam,
And we shall be like Him there. [Refrain]

3 We know not the robes that we then shall wear,
We know not the songs we’ll sing;
But we know when He cometh
His glory we’ll share,
And we shall be like our king. [Refrain]

4 We know not the station we then shall bear,
We know not the great reward;
But we know when He cometh
A crown we shall wear,
And we shall be like our Lord. [Refrain]
