Author: Anna B. Warner Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #252 (1908) Hymnal Title: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old First Line: We would see Jesus-- for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 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. Topics: Aspiration; Refuge--Rock Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION
We Would See Jesus
