[Chorus] Chorus: I shall know Him, shall know Him, And redeemed by His side I shall stand; I shall know Him, I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand. 3 Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come, And our parting at the river I recall; To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home, But I long to meet my Savior first of all. [Chorus] Chorus: I shall know Him, shall know Him, And redeemed by His side I shall stand; I shall know Him, I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand. 4 Thro' the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white, He will lead me where no tears will ever fall; In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight, But I long to meet my Savior first of all. [Chorus] Chorus: I shall know Him, shall know Him, And redeemed by His side I shall stand; I shall know Him, I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand.
