Just One Glimpse

Just one glimpse of the glo­ry wait­ing

Just one note of the ser­aph’s song—

How it cheers the heart that’s break­ing

How it makes the spir­it strong.

Just one touch of the seam­less garment

Just one clasp of the nail-pierced hand—

How it calms the fev­ered pulses

How it helps the weak to stand.

Just one breath of the Ho­ly Spir­it

Just one cry of the heart in pray­er—

How it gives us joy in serv­ice

How it lifts the load of care.

Just one line of the pro­mise given

Just one thought of the Friend so near—

How it lifts our hearts to Heav­en

How it seems to soothe and cheer.

Just one smile of the lov­ing Sav­ior

Just one gleam of the dawn­ing day—

How it makes the cross grow light­er

How it speeds us on our way.

Just one word of our Lord’s ap­pear­ing

Just one glance at the white-robed throng—

How it thrills our heart with rap­ture

How it wakes the sweet­est song.
