We Would See Jesus (DeArmond)

lyricist: Lizzie DeArmond, 1903
Composer: Jay Ford

We would see Je­sus

the babe in the man­ger

Come to the world on this glad Christ­mas morn

Fall down be­fore Him with shep­herds and wise men

Giving our love to the King new­ly born.

We would see Je­sus

we would see Je­sus

Worship the King we love and adore

Born unto us one glad Christ­mas morn­ing;

To His dear name be praise for­ev­er­more!

We would see Je­sus

the Son of the High­est;

Angels with rap­ture His prais­es re­peat;

Tho’ so un­wor­thy

we come with re­joic­ing

Bringing our trea­sures to lay at His feet.

We would see Je­sus; in realms of the bless­èd

Some day be­fore Him the ran­somed shall stand

Seeing His face in its glo­ri­ous beau­ty

Wearing a crown in that para­dise land.
