When my heart is sad
With life’s cares and toils,
I will hush my trou­bled spi­rit’s anx­ious cry;
For the day is com­ing fast,
When my cares shall all be past,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by!

Refrain

I shall see Him! My Re­deem­er!
O my heart, be brave, be strong!
I shall see Him, and I’ll praise Him
With an ev­er­last­ing song.

When the path is rough,
And the way is hard,
And no rest­ing for my wea­ry feet is nigh;
I will brave­ly press along,
Singing still my hope­ful song,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by!

Refrain

When the day grows dark,
And the clouds o’er­hang,
And they close out all the sun­shine from the sky;
Tho’ in dark­ness I abide,
He is still my faith­ful guide,
I shall see Him! I shall see Him by and by!

Refrain

Then my heart be brave,
And my soul re­joice,
For His pro­mise stand­eth sure—on it re­ly;
And for all the care and pain
There shall be eter­nal gain,
When I see Him! When I see Him by and by!

Refrain
