The whole creation groans and waits
Till we, who love thee, Lord,
Shall stand within thy temple gates,
And shine—the sons of God.
The sons of God—how bright they shine!
No mortal eye can see;
We, sinners, shall be made divine!
We shall be one with thee!
One with the Lord and all his saints!
Thy nature in our own!
Thy crown our rich inheritance!
Heirs to thy royal throne!
Thy throne no joy to us would bring,
If we from thee were riven;
For all our joy is in our King,
And thou art all our heaven.
