used as Someday I'll See Him

I’LL SEE HIM SOME DAY

I did not see the Saviour
With the wise men, at His birth,
Nor as He grew, and taught and suffered,
Then was buried in the earth.

I did not see, that early morning
When the stone was rolled away;
Nor was I there to see the nail prints,
And hear doubting Thomas pray.

But I shall see Him some glad morning,
In all His glory, in the sky,
When He calls us there to meet Him!
Yes! I shall see Him by and by.

Then, I shall see Him in His beauty;
All His glory then behold,
And maybe then I’ll understand
The half that’s not been told!

I’ll praise Him then for all His grace,
And if I’ve won a crown,
When I behold those pierced feet;
‘Tis there, I’ll lay it down!
