I Know I'll See Jesus Some Day

Sweet is the hope that is thrilling my soul—

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

Then what if the dark clouds of sin o’er me roll,

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

Though I must travel by faith, not by sight,

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

No evil can harm me, no foe can affright—

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

Darkness is gath’ring, but hope shines within,

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

What joy when He comes to wipe out ev’ry sin;

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

Chorus

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

What a joy it will be

When His face I shall see,

I know I’ll see Jesus some day!

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, 

whilst we are at home in the body, 

we are absent from the Lord:

For we walk by faith, not by sight:

We are confident, I say, 

and willing rather to be absent from the body, 

and to be present with the Lord.

- 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 -

 For our conversation is in heaven; 

from whence also we look for the Saviour, 

the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, 

that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, 

according to the working whereby he is able 

even to subdue all things unto himself.

- Philippians 3:20,21 -

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, 

clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

- Revelation 22:1-5 -

Heaven is not an invention of the human imagination.

It is as sure as the promise of Christ in the Scriptures:

In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, 

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 

that where I am, there ye may be also.

- John 14:2,3 -

Let your soul come alive with the thrill of expectation-

the glories of heaven and the prospect of personally seeing Jesus.

- Kenneth W. Osbeck -

Have a blessed Lord's Day, friends!
