Text: | We Would See Jesus |
Author: | Anna B. Warner |
Tune: | CONSOLATION |
Composer: | Fr. F. Mendelssohn |
1 We would see Jesus-- for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness--the final strife.
2 We would see Jesus-- the great Rock-foundation,
Whereon our feet were set with sov'reign grace;
Not life, nor death, with all their agitation
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus-- other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoic'd to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing;
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
