O Lord and Saviour, we recline
On that eternal love of Thine.
Thou art our rest, and Thou alone
Remainest when all else is gone.
Yes! "Thou remainest";
sea and land,
E'en heaven shall pass,
but Thou shalt stand:
Undimmed Thy radiancy appears,
Changeless through all
the changing years.
Lord, on the throne
Thy love's the same
As once upon Thy cross of shame:
In lowliness Thou cam'st to die;
Thou livest now for us on high.
We see Thee there,
the Lamb once slain;
Thy loss was our eternal gain;
We see Thee crowned with glory now,
No shade on Thy victorious brow.
The shadow dwelt
on Calvary's tree,
And now Thine unveiled face we see;
Praise be to God for that blest word,
That "Thou remainest", blessed Lord.
