O I Want To See Him
(written by R.H. Cornelius)


Verse 1:
As I journey thro' the land, singing as I go,
pointing souls to Calvary, to the crimson flow,
many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
but my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win.

Chorus:
O I want to see Him, look upon His face,
there to sing forever of His saving grace;
on the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

Verse 2:
When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
but I'll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my tho'ts aside;
but my Lord goes ahead, leads whate?er betide.

Chorus

Verse 3:
When in valleys low I look t'ward the mountain height,
and behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
with a tender hand outstretched t'ward the valley low,
guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.

Chorus

Verse 4:
When before me billows rise form the mighty deep,
then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
and He leads me gently on thro' this world below;
He's a real Friend to me, o I love Him so.

Chorus
