1. New bodies and new names—
heav’n and earth won’t be the same.
Writ on a bright stone—
Jesus calls us for his own.
Though we see but dimly now,
face-to-face—someday, somehow.
2. Jacob called Israel—
striv’n with God and men, prevailed.
Hip out of joint thrown—
blesséd as the sun arose.
Though we see but dimly now,
face-to-face—someday, somehow.
3. Changed face, dazzling clothes—
Jeus on the mountain shone.
Words from the cloud come:
“This is my belovéd son.”
Though we see but dimly now,
face-to-face—someday, somehow.
