I Shall Be Satisfied

Topics: classic

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!
