GHS 141 : I Shall See The King Lyrics
GHS 141, “I Shall See The King,” is a hymn of quiet but certain anticipation, built on the promise that what faith grasps now will one day be seen face to face. The King the hymn speaks of is the one who was slain at Calvary, and the glory the singer expects to enter is bought with the blood of that sacrifice. Each stanza adds a new dimension to the vision: the better land, the golden strand, the land of song, the glory throng, and the moment of looking directly upon His face and singing of how He ransomed and kept that particular soul.
This hymn appears as number 141 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it is especially meaningful in funeral and memorial services as a declaration of the believer’s sure and certain hope.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 141: I Shall See The King
- I shall see the King Where the angels sing, I shall see the King some day, In the better land, On the golden strand, And with Him shall ever stay.
In His glory, I shall see the King, And forever endless praises sing; ‘Twas on Calvary Jesus died for me; I shall see the King some day.
-
In the land of song, In the glory throng, Where there never comes a night, With my Lord once slain I shall ever reign In the glory-land of light.
-
I shall see the King, All my tributes bring, And shall look upon His face; Then my song shall be How He ransomed me And has kept me by His grace.
