109. O I Want to See Him

1 As I journey thro' the land singing as I go,
Pointing souls to calvary--to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win.

Chorus:
O I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, Home at last, ever to rejoice.

2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I'll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan's snares may vex my soul turn my tho'ts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide. [Chorus]

3 When in valleys low I look tow'rd the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched tow'rd the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.
[Chorus]

4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on thro' this world below;
He's a real Friend to me, O I love Him so. [Chorus]
