When my lifework is ended, and I cross the swelling tide
When the bright and glorious morn I see
I will know my Redeemer when I reach the other side
For He will be the first to welcome me
I will know Him, I will know Him
Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come
And our parting at the river I recall
To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home
But I long to meet my Savior first of all
I will Know Him, I will know Him
I will stand by His side
I will Know Him, I will know Him
Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white
He will lead me where no tears will ever fall
In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight
But I long to meet my Savior first of all
I will Know Him, I will know Him
I will stand by His side
I will Know Him, I will know Him
