Take Heart, We Shall See Christ JESUS

O what a wondrous, joyful day,

When God the Son we see;

And we shall dwell with Him on high,

 

From sin forever free.

 

In love He chose us by His grace,

 

Before the earth was made;

 

He came into this world of sin,

 

And all the law obeyed.

 

The Savior took our load of guilt,

 

Our sins on Him were laid;

 

And by His sin-removing death,

 

Our debt was fully paid.

 

And though He died upon the cross,

 

He rose and reigns on high;

 

And by the Spirit of His grace,

 

To Him we are brought nigh.

 

 It will be glory in that day,

 

When we shall see His face;

 

And fix our eyes upon the Lamb,

 

Who saved us by His grace.

 

Take courage children of the Lord,

 

With Christ we soon shall be;

 

And we shall praise our God and King,

 

Throughout eternity.
