Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing, We would not mourn them, for we go to thee. 4 We would see Jesus this is all we're needing, Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night!
