Representative Text

1. If today, amid the storms of life that wildly beat around us,
We the rainbow of our blessèd Lord can see,
And rejoice to hear Him calling, as when first the Shepherd found us,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be?

Refrain
What will it be? What will it be?
With the Lord to reign thro’ all eternity!
On that blissful shore, saved forevermore,
As we stand in His presence, what will it be?

2. If His love so freely shed abroad can fill our hearts with glory,
If the sweetest song of earth is: Come to Me;
If such blessing it affords us just to tell the precious story,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain]

3. If our faith in Him can fill our hearts with joy to overflowing,
And the Lord, unseen, to us so dear can be;
If we love Him while in tears and pain for harvest we are sowing,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain]

4. If when those we love are taken from us we can still adore Him,
And to Him in that dark hour for comfort flee;
As we clasp their hands on yonder shore, to cast our crowns before Him,
When we stand in His presence, what will it be? [Refrain]
