Then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:12
Words & Music: J. O. Hillyer (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know Hillyer’s full name, or where to get a good picture of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Some sweet day my Lord will come,
Come to claim His own;
I shall meet Him face to face,
Before the Advent throne.
Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Like Him I shall be;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For I shall see Him as He is!
Some sweet day this body frail,
In a moment’s space,
Shall be changed and upward caught,
And stand before His face.
Refrain
Some sweet day my hand shall clasp
Those long gone before;
Press them to my heart with joy,
To part again no more.
