O Saviour, whom
absent we love,
Whom not having
seen we adore,
Whose name
is exalted above
All glory, dominion,
and power;
O come and
display us as Thine,
And leave us
no longer to roam.
Let the light of
Thy presence, Lord, shine,
Let the trumpet soon
summon us home.
Oh, then shall
the mists be removed,
And round us
Thy brightness be poured.
We shall meet Thee
whom absent we loved,
We shall see whom
unseen we adored.
Oh, then never more
shall the fears,
The trials, temptations,
and woes,
Which darken this valley of tears,
Intrude on our blissful repose.
Or, if yet remembered above,
Remembrance
no sadness shall raise;
They will bring us
fresh thoughts of Thy love,
New themes for
our wonder and praise.
