Author: T. H. Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 4 #82 (1928) First Line: When these eyes shall behold the King of glory Refrain First Line: Hallelujah, hallelujah Lyrics: 1 When these eyes shall behold the King of glory,
Then the song of Moses and the Lamb I’ll sing,
And my lips will repeat redemption’s story,
When I stand in the presence of the King.
Chorus:
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Soon His ransomed our blessed Lord will bring;
Then my glad soul will shout His matchless praises
When I stand in the presence of the King.
2 When I pass thro’ the city’s open portal,
And the music sweet from golden harps shall ring,
I will laud Him who giveth life immortal,
When I stand in the presence of the King. [Chorus]
3 Soon we’ll see Him in all His wondrous beauty;
Then the sorrows of this life will all take wing;
And the saints who have faithful proved to duty
Will rejoice in the presence of the King. [Chorus]
