\n“We would see Jesus;” for the shadows lengthen
\nAcross the little landscape of our life;
\nWe would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
\nFor the last conflict, in this mortal strife.<\/p>\n
2
\n“We would see Jesus,” Rock of our salvation,
\nWhere on our feet were set with sovereign grace;
\nNot life, nor death, with all their agitation,
\nCan thence remove us, gazing on His face.<\/p>\n
3
\n“We would see Jesus;” other lights are paling,
\nWhich for long years we did rejoice to see;
\nThe blessings of this sinful world are failing;
\nWe would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.<\/p>\n
4
\n“We would see Jesus;” this is all we’re needing-
\nStrength, joy and willingness come with the sight;
\nWe would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,
\nSoon to return and end this mortal night!<\/p>\n
