Song Lyrics
We would see Jesus, for the shadows lengthen
Across the little landscape of our life
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife
We would see Jesus, the great Rock foundation
On which our feet were set with sov'reign grace
Nor life, nor death, with all their agitation
Can thence remove us, if we see His face
We would see Jesus: other lights are paling
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see
The blessing of our pilgrimage are failing
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee
We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading
Then welcome, day, and farewell, mortal night!
