Mine Eyes Shall Behold Him

Verse 1

I know not the hour of his coming, Nor how he will speak to my heart; Or whether at morning or midday My spirit to him will depart.

Chorus

But I know I shall wake in the likeness Of him I am longing to see; I know that mine eyes shall behold him, And that is enough for me.

Verse 2

I know not the bliss that awaits me, At rest with my Savior above; I know not how soon I shall enter, And bathe in the ocean of love.

Verse 3

Perhaps in the midst of my labor A voice from my Lord I shall hear; Perhaps in the slumber of midnight Its message will fall on my ear.

Verse 4

I know not, but oh, I am watching, My lamp ever burning and bright, I know not if Jesus will call me AT morning, at noon, or at night.
