We Shall Behold Him

It's been ages since I've thought of this song. A friend that I had sang it at summer camp at Lassen Pines one year for a tape. It was beautiful. I used to play just that song over and over and over... I don't remember if I wore out the tape or the tape player, but I can't find the tape anymore. I've since lost touch with her, but I wish I could tell her how much I loved the song that she chose to sing that year.

Tonight it has an added meaning because the Lord brought it to mind after spending time with Him. If you search for the title, you can find some posting of the actual song. I would have posted one here but I couldn't find one that had the timing that I remembered. But it's still a beautiful song...

We shall behold Him


The sky shall unfold, preparing His entrance;
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise.
The sweet light in His eyes shall enhance those a waiting,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.

And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Savior and Lord.

The angels shall sound the shout of His coming,
The sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place.
And those who remain shall be changed in a moment,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.

And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Savior and Lord.
We shall behold Him, our Savior and Lord.
