“THINE EYES SHALL SEE THE KING!”
Thine eyes shall see the King.
When earth's wild wastes are trod,
Thine eyes shall look on God:
Winter shall cease, and change to heavenly spring—
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall see the King!
When earth's wild wastes are trod,
Thine eyes shall look on God:
Winter shall cease, and change to heavenly spring—
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall see the King!
Him shall thine eyes behold.
When sorrow's overpast
Him shalt thou see at last,
And tread with him the heavenly courts of gold—
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall see the King!
When sorrow's overpast
Him shalt thou see at last,
And tread with him the heavenly courts of gold—
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall see the King!
Thine eyes shall see the King.
The Vision surely waits
Beyond death's solemn gates,
Awful with light that only death can bring:
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall surely see the King.
The Vision surely waits
Beyond death's solemn gates,
Awful with light that only death can bring:
Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty,
Thine eyes shall surely see the King.
