How precious the promise I read in the word, Of Jesus, my Saviour, to me, That when I have finished the work that He gave, My home in His kingdom shall be.

Chorus

And when in the glory I look on His face, With rapture that cannot be told; The wonderful story of grace and of glory Will never, no, never grow old.

Verse 2

O what are the sorrows and trials of earth, Compared with the bliss I shall know With Him, my Redeemer, where rivers of joy Forever and ever shall flow?

And when in the glory I look on His face, With rapture that cannot be told; The wonderful story of grace and of glory Will never, no, never grow old.

Verse 3

Thus far on my journey by faith I have come, And Jesus abides with me still; And O what a lesson from Him I have learned, Of trusting, and doing His will.

Chorus

And when in the glory I look on His face, With rapture that cannot be told; The wonderful story of grace and of glory Will never, no, never grow old.
