WE would see Jesus—for the shadows lengthen

Across this little landscape of our life;

We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen

For the last weariness—the final strife.

2

We would see Jesus—the great Rock foundation,

Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;

Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,

Can thence remove us, if we see His face.

3

We would see Jesus—other lights are paling,

Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;

The blessings of our pilgrimage are falling,

We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
