I Shall Be Satisfied

I shall be satisfied when I awaken In thy dear likeness, my King and my Lord,-- When the dark prison of death shall be shaken, And the freed spirit comes forth at thy word!-- I shall be satisfied, Saviour, be satisfied, Wearing thy likeness and near to thy side! Sinless and sorrowless, robed in thy righteousness, What can I ask for in glory beside?

I shall be satisfied loving thee ever, Hearing thy accents and sharing thy joy, Fearing nor change nor estrangement to sever Me from my Lord and His blissful employ!-- Satisfied, satisfied, evermore satisfied, Wearing thy likeness and near to thy side! Sinless and sorrowless, robed in thy righteousness, What can I ask for in glory beside?

I shall be satisfied when I behold thee, I shall be like thee, my Saviour and King! And, in the radiance that will enfold thee, I shall enfolded be, too, while I sing-- Lo, I am satisfied, Saviour, am satisfied, Wearing thy likeness and near thy side! Sinless and sorrowless, robed in thy righteousness, What can I ask for in glory beside!
