We would see Jesus â for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life ; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness â the final strife.
2. We would see Jesus â the great Rock foundation, Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace ; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, . Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3. We would see Jesus â other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see ; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing : We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
4. We would see Jesus â 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 !
