Clara McAlister Brooks (1911) • English

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.
