O what shall we feel
in Thy presence when first
The visions of glory
upon us shall burst!
Since now our soul longeth
and seeketh for Thee;
O when blessèd Saviour,
Thy face shall we see?
That face, once so marred,
We shall gaze on at length,
And fearless behold,
as the sun in his strength;
Those eyes, flames of fire,
that so searching we prove,
Shall beam on us
then inexpressible love.
Thy voice, like great waters,
how calmly our soul
Shall hear in the glory
its deep waters roll;
Though now it rebukes us
and humbles our pride,
It shall speak only love
to Thy glorified Bride.
O Thou who this world
as a lone pilgrim trod,
Thy Father our Father,
Thy God is our God;
To Thee we behold
the bright seraphim bow:
Lord Jesus, what glory
doth rest on Thee now!
Thy Spirit has shown God’s
deep purpose to be
To empty, then fill us
with glory lie Thee;
And now Thou dost wait—
Thy full joy to impart,
For that day of espousals—
the joy of Thy heart.
Now moment by moment,
to answer our needs,
Thy blood, holy Saviour,
in righteousness pleads;
And sheltered by that,
how serene and how calm,
Our souls on Thy bosom
are shielded from harm.
We see Thee, Lord Jesus,
with glory now crowned,
And waiting Thy coming,
in peace would be found;
The visions of glory
have turned all to dross;
For Thee give us grace
to count all things but loss.
