O I Want to See Him

Verse 1

As I journey through the land singing as I go, Pointing souls to Calvary– to the crimson flow, Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within; But my Lord leads me on, through Him I must win.

Chorus

Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face, There to sing forever of His saving grace; On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice; Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

Verse 2

When in service for my Lord dark may be the night, But I'll cling more close to Him, He will give me light; Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside; But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide.

Verse 3

When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height, And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight, With a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low, Guiding me, I can see as I onward go.

Verse 4

When before me billows rise from the mighty deep, Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep, And He leads me gently on through this world below; He's a real friend to me, oh, I love Him so.
