- 1When I shall reach the more excellent glory,And all my trials are past,I shall behold Him, O wonderful story!I shall be like Him at last.I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,And in His beauty shall shine;I shall be like Him, wondrously like Him,Jesus, my Savior divine.
- 2We shall not wait till the glorious dawningBreaks on the vision so fair;Now we may welcome the heavenly morning,Now we His image may bear.I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,And in His beauty shall shine;I shall be like Him, wondrously like Him,Jesus, my Savior divine.
- 3More and more like Him: repeat the blest storyOver and over again;Changed by His Spirit from glory to glory,I shall be satisfied then.I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,And in His beauty shall shine;I shall be like Him, wondrously like Him,Jesus, my Savior divine.
