Preview: Oh what a day that wonderful day will be, when all the curse of sin is gone, and the glory of God will be revealed in its fullness! The change will be so drastic, there is no language that can describe it. Let us look at a few of the changes that will take place. This earth, the sphere on which we live, is three-fourths covered with water: there will be no more sea then. The dry land that we have is marred by huge deserts: the desert will blossom as the rose. Our present day cities are festering sores of crime and evil: nothing shall enter that holy city that defiles. There will be no blind or lame on the street, for the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the lame man shall leap as an hart. Above all these things God will be there, and we shall see His face and be His children. What a wonderful reward for the little we have to go through.

      O, I want to see Him, look upon His face,

      On the streets of glory let me lift my voice;
      Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
      Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

      Oh I want to See Him by Rufus H. Cornelius, 1916.
