Lyrics

I shall see the King
Where the an­gels sing;
I shall see the King some day,
In the bet­ter land,
On the gold­en strand,
And with Him shall ev­er stay.

Refrain

In His glo­ry, I shall see the King,
And for­ev­er end­less prais­es sing;
’Twas on Cal­va­ry Je­sus died for me;
I shall see the King some day.

In the land of song,
In the glo­ry-throng,
Where there ne­ver comes a night,
With my Lord once slain
I shall ev­er reign
In the glo­ry-land of light.

Refrain

I shall see the King,
All my tri­butes bring,
And shall look up­on His face;
Then my song shall be
How He ran­somed me
And has kept me by His grace.
