When my (G)life work is end ed and I (G)cross the swell ing tide, when the (A7)bright and glo rious morn ing I shall (D7)see;

I shall (D7)know

Him, I shall (G)know

Him, and re deemed by His side (A7)I shall (D7)stand;

I shall (G)know

Him, I shall (C)know

Him by the (D7)prints of the nails in His (G)hand.

O the (G)soul thrill ing rap ture when I (G)view His bless ed face and the (A7)lus ter of His kind ly beam ing (D7)eyes;

how my (G)full heart will praise Him (G)for the (C)mer cy, love and grace that pre (D7)pare for me a man sion in the (G)sky.

I shall (D7)know

Him, I shall (G)know

Him, and re deemed by His side (A7)I shall (D7)stand;

I shall (G)know

Him, I shall (C)know

Him by the (D7)prints of the nails in His (G)hand.

O the (G)hand,

by the (D7)prints of the nails in His (G)hand.
