We Shall Be Like Him (Gabriel)

We shall be like Him

O wond­er­ful thought!

Blessèd the hope the as­sur­ance hath wrought:

Changed from the sor­row and tri­als of years

We shall be like Him

when Je­sus ap­pears.

We shall be like Him

Oh

how the pro­mise cheers!

We shall be like Him

when Je­sus ap­pears.

Eye hath not seen

nor hath ear ev­er heard

What we shall be but

a voice from His word

Whispers a mes­sage that charms all our fears

We shall be like Him

when Je­sus ap­pears.

Why

then

re­pine when the road­way is rough?

Are not His word and the pro­mise enough?

Rainbows of love span the val­ley of tears

We shall be like Him

when Je­sus ap­pears.

We shall be like Him

the hope of the soul;

We shall be like Him

made per­fect­ly whole;

Caught up with saints

as the fir­ma­ment clears

We shall be like Him

when Je­sus ap­pears.
