I SHALL BE SATISFIED.

When I shall wake in that fair morn of morns, When whose dawning never night returns, And with whose glory day eternal burns, I shall be satisfied.
When I shall see Thy glory face to face, Then in thine arms thou wilt thy child embrace, When thou shalt open all thy stores of grace, I shall be satisfied.
When I shall meet with those whom I have loved, Grasp in my eager arms the long removed, And find how faithful Thou to me hast proved, I shall be satisfied.
When this vile body shall arise again, Changed by thy power from every taint and stain, Delivered from all weakness and all pain, I shall be satisfied.
When I shall gaze upon the face of Him Who for me died, with eye no longer dim, And praise him with the everlasting hymn, I shall be satisfied.
When I shall call to mind the long, long past, With clouds and storms and shadows overcast, And know that I am saved and blest at last, I shall be satisfied.
When every enemy shall disappear, The unbelief, the darkness, and the fear, When thou shalt smooth the brow and wipe the tear, I shall be satisfied.
When every vanity shall pass away, And all be real, all without decay; In that sweet dawning of the cloudless day, I shall be satisfied. —Sel.
