Oh! shall I be among that throng
All clothed in robes of white,
And help to swell that glo­ri­ous song
Of rap­ture and de­light!

Refrain

I shall, for I have been re­deemed
With blood of worth un­told,
The blood of Christ, the Lamb of God,
More pre­cious far than gold.

Oh! shall I see my Sav­ior’s face,
All ra­di­ant as the sun,
And dwell thro’ all eter­ni­ty
With God’s Be­lov­èd One?

Refrain

Shall I in glo­ry Christ be­hold,
Exalted king and Lord?
What rap­ture, yea, what bliss un­told,
That mo­ment will af­ford!

Refrain

Oh! shall I gaze up­on the wounds,
From whence hath flowed the blood
That cleans­ed my guil­ty, sin­ful heart,
And brought me nigh to God?

Refrain

Oh! shall I ev­er, with the Lord―
As I re­trace the past―
Praise Him for all His won­drous grace
To me from first to last?
