Lyrics

I know not when the time shall be
For God to send the call for me;
But this I know, whate’er be­tide,
My soul shall then be sa­tis­fied.

Refrain

Be sa­tis­fied, when I be­hold
A shin­ing crown and harp of gold;
When I shall rest by Je­sus’ side,
My soul shall then be sa­tis­fied.

When I awake in that bright home,
Behold the beau­ties now un­known,
Where Sa­tan shall no more de­ride,
My soul shall then be sa­tis­fied.

Refrain

Oh, what re­joic­ing there will be,
When we the King of Glo­ry see!
And when I rest by Je­sus’ side,
My soul shall then be sa­tis­fied.
