My Savior First of All Words by Fanny J. Crosby Music by John R. Sweney Words and Music public domain 602
When my lifework is endedand I cross the swelling tideWhen the bright and glorious morning I shall see
I shall know my Redeemerwhen I reach the other sideAnd His smile will bethe first to welcome me
I shall know Him, I shall know HimAnd redeemed by His sideI shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know HimBy the print of the nails in His hand
Oh, the soul-thrilling rapture when I view His blessed faceAnd the luster ofHis kindly beaming eye
How my full heart will praise Him for the mercy, love, and graceThat prepared for mea mansion in the sky
I shall know Him, I shall know HimAnd redeemed by His sideI shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know HimBy the print of the nails in His hand
Oh, the dear ones in gloryhow they beckon me to comeAnd our parting at the river I recall
To the sweet vales of Edenthey will sing my welcome homeBut I long to meet my Savior first of all
I shall know Him, I shall know HimAnd redeemed by His sideI shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know HimBy the print of the nails in His hand
Thro’ the gates to the cityin a robe of spotless whiteHe will lead mewhere no tears will ever fall
In the glad song of agesI shall mingle with delightBut I long to meet my Savior first of all
I shall know Him, I shall know HimAnd redeemed by His sideI shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know HimBy the print of the nails in His hand
