I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
Psalm 17:15
Words: Oscar Venable, in Tested Songs (Forth Worth, Texas: R. H. Cornelius, 1917).
Music: T. W. Holland (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know Holland’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him or Venable,
When my bark has sailed across the deep,
And touched the other side;
I will fear no ill, for my Lord will keep,
And I’ll be satisfied.
Refrain
I’ll be satisfied, yes, I’ll be satisfied
When I have crossed the rolling tide;
The angry storms may sweep,
But my Lord will keep,
And I’ll be satisfied.
When I leave this world of sin and woe,
With Jesus to abide;
Not a single sorrow I then shall know,
For I’ll be satisfied.
Refrain
Jesus helps me as I onward go,
The angry waves to ride;
He will guide my bark safely to the shore,
Then I’ll be satisfied.
