When shall I look on that wonderful face, Fair in its feature and pure in its grace? When shall I draw from his visage divine Pictures of sweetness, till they shall be mine?
Chorus
O, I shall see him, the fairest of fair! Bearing his image, his beauty I’ll share.
Verse 2
When shall I kneel at those dear wounded feet, Giving all glory to whom it is mete? When shall those hands which were nailed to the tree, Raising me up, show a blessing for me?
Chorus
O, I shall see him, the fairest of fair! Bearing his image, his beauty I’ll share.
Verse 3
When shall I gaze in those wonderful eyes, Reading his love with the sweetest surprise? When shall that test of approval be mine,— Robed for the bridal, the marriage divine?

O, I shall see him, the fairest of fair! Bearing his image, his beauty I’ll share.
