Primary Scripture: Isaiah 33:17
Verse 1
I have found the joy of God, In His sacred, blest abode, Oh, the comfort of the peace that fills my soul! And a day His courts within, Far exceedeth all in sin, In His secret presence I’m abiding.
Chorus
I shall see Him, I shall see Him, I shall see Him in His beauty over there; In His likeness I’ll behold Him, He is waiting for me at the portals.
Verse 2
Of my life the fountain spring, Now my all to Thee I bring, Thou, O Lord, art all my heart’s supreme delight! Whom have I in heav’n but Thee? None on earth so dear to me, Thou alone art altogether lovely.
Chorus
I shall see Him, I shall see Him, I shall see Him in His beauty over there; In His likeness I’ll behold Him, He is waiting for me at the portals.
Verse 3
How the heav’nly chorus rings, While my heart in rapture sings Sweetest anthems of my Savior’s joyful praise; He’s the fairest of the fair, Nothing can with Him compare, He’s to me the chief among ten thousand.
Chorus
I shall see Him, I shall see Him, I shall see Him in His beauty over there; In His likeness I’ll behold Him, He is waiting for me at the portals.
Verse 4
Take the world, for Christ is mine, In His kingdom I would shine, Let me labor all my days and years for Him: Perfect love and bliss abound In His presence, I have found, Life is joy supreme and full of glory.
Chorus
I shall see Him, I shall see Him, I shall see Him in His beauty over there; In His likeness I’ll behold Him, He is waiting for me at the portals.
