Verse 1

My heart is enraptur’d with Jesus; My constant companion is He; His love to my heart is more precious Than anything earthly could be.

Chorus

But what will it be? Oh, what will it be? A sinner redeem’d by His grace, Beholding Him face to face, Oh, what will it be? My soul! oh, what will it be?

Verse 2

A perfect delight I am finding, Communing with Him day by day; A light on my path ever shining While walking with Him in the way.

Chorus

But what will it be? Oh, what will it be? A sinner redeem’d by His grace, Beholding Him face to face, Oh, what will it be? My soul! oh, what will it be?

Verse 3

If fellowship here is so blessed, Oh, who can conceive the delight, When eye to eye we shall behold Him, When faith has been merg’d into sight?

Chorus

But what will it be? Oh, what will it be? A sinner redeem’d by His grace, Beholding Him face to face, Oh, what will it be? My soul! oh, what will it be?

Verse 4

When death, our last foe, has been conquer’d, And we shall have enter’d the rest, The city prepared for the ransom’d, The home of the blood-wash’d and blest.

Chorus

But what will it be? Oh, what will it be? A sinner redeem’d by His grace, Beholding Him face to face, Oh, what will it be? My soul! oh, what will it be?
