When He appears, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as he is.
1 John 3:2

Words & Music: Peter P. Bilhorn, Hymns of the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Chicago, Illinois: Bilhorn Brothers, 1911), number 53 (🔊 pdf nwc).
We know not how soon His return will be,
We know not the time nor when;
But we know when He cometh
His face we shall see,
And we shall be like Him then.
Refrain
Yes, we shall be like Him then,
Yes, we shall be like Him then;
We know not the hour
When our Lord will come,
But we shall be like Him then.
We know not the splendor of yonder home,
We know not the mansions fair;
But we know when He cometh
No more shall we roam,
And we shall be like Him there.
Refrain
We know not the robes that we then shall wear,
We know not the songs we’ll sing;
But we know when He cometh
His glory we’ll share,
And we shall be like our king.
Refrain
We know not the station we then shall bear,
We know not the great reward;
But we know when He cometh
A crown we shall wear,
And we shall be like our Lord.
