When my live’s work is ended
Izindi
Couplet 1
When my life’s work is ended and I cross the swelling tide when the bright and glorious morning I shall see I shall know my Redeem when I reach the other side His smile will be the first to welcome me.
Refrain
I shall know Him, I shall know Him And redeemed by His side I shall stand I shall know Him; I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand.
Couplet 2
Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessed face and the luster of His kindly beaming eye How my full heart will praise Him for His mercy, love and His grace That prepared for me a mansion in the sky.
Refrain
I shall know Him, I shall know Him And redeemed by His side I shall stand I shall know Him; I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand.
Couplet 3
Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come, and our parting at the river I recall; To the sweet vales of the Eden they will sing my welcome home; But I long to see my Savior first of all.
Refrain
I shall know Him, I shall know Him And redeemed by His side I shall stand I shall know Him; I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand.
Couplet 4
Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white He will lead me where no tears will ever fall In the glad song of ages I will mingle with delight But I long to see my Savior first of all
Refrain
I shall know Him, I shall know Him And redeemed by His side I shall stand I shall know Him; I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand.
