Christ in Song 569
WE WOULD SEE JESUS
1"We would see Je-sus:" for the shad-ows length-en A-cross the lit-tle landscape of our life;
We would see Je-sus: our weak faith to strength-en For the last weariness, the fi-nal strife.
We would see Je-sus: this is all we're need-ing, Strength, joy, and will-ing-ness come with the sight.
2We would see Jesus: the great rock foundation
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Not life, nor death, with all their ag-i-ta-tion,
Can thence re-move us, gaz-ing on his face.
We would see Jesus: other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have re-joiced to see.
