• Lyrics:
  I know not now how soon twill be,
  When I shall reach that vast unknown.
  I know not now, I cannot see
  The entrance to thy heavenly home.
  Alas! Alas! Tis’ better so,
  For time moves on with rapid pace.
  
  But this I know, when I shall go,
  That I shall see Him face to face!
  Yes I shall see Him face to face.
  And be with those I love once more.
  Yes I shall see Him face to face
  And be with Him for evermore!
  
  For life must come and life must go,
  The Winters pass, the Spring flowers grow,
  And though the bliss be but alloy,
  Tis less of pain and more of joy.
  It matters not how quick the pace
  For this I know on that fair shore,
  That I shall see Him face to face.”
