Lyrics

When I have fin­ished my pil­grim­age here,
When shall have van­quished temp­ta­tion and fear,
As in the arms of His love I abide,
I shall be sa­tis­fied.

Refrain

I shall be sa­tis­fied,
I shall be sa­tis­fied,
Sheltered above by His in­fi­nite love,
I shall be sa­tis­fied.

When I am trou­bled by grief and des­pair,
Grace ne­ver fail­ing awaits me up there;
Willing to trust Him what­ev­er be­tide,
I shall be sa­tis­fied.

Refrain

When I have tra­veled the way with my Lord,
Counting the mile­posts by faith in His Word,
Living and dy­ing with Him by my side,
I shall be sa­tis­fied.
