I will see the precious face of Jesus in glory;
The time is very near.
That is my longing, that is my joy—
The dawn of my hope is near!

1
When I see my beloved Lord, the Giver of joy,
All my tears will be wiped away,
And every sorrow and trouble will disappear.
What joy will be mine—forever and ever!

2
In the promised land, in my eternal home,
God’s servants and His angels will be there.
Day after day we will behold God’s glorious face,
And I will worship Him together with the redeemed.

3
The troubles I face on this earth
Are only for a little while;
They will disappear like a passing dream.
My Beloved will reward me
With an eternal and glorious inheritance.

4
Oh, what a blessed life You have given me,
My Beloved, my joy and delight!
You are my precious treasure.
You will keep me safe
And gather me to Yourself in the clouds of heaven.
