|
| 1 | Lord Jesus! when we think of Thee, | Ephesians 5:25; 2 Corinthians 8:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:10: Isaiah 3:17 |
| Of all Thy love and grace, |
| Our spirits long and fain would see |
| Thy beauty face to face. |
|
| 2 | And though the wilderness we tread, | Psalm 63:1; Genesis 3:18 |
| A barren, thirsty ground, |
| With thorns and briers overspread, |
| Where foes and snares abound; |
|
| 3 | Yet in Thy love such depths we see, | Ephesians 3:19; Psalm 63:5 |
| Our souls o'erflow with praise— |
| Content ourselves, while, Lord, to Thee |
| A joyful song we raise. |
|
| 4 | Our Lord, our Life, our Rest, our Shield, | Ephesians 3:11; Colossians 3:4; Matthew 11:28; Psalm 33:20; 1 Corinthians 10:4; John 6:55; Psalm 27:1 |
| Our Rock, our Food, our Light; |
| Each thought of Thee doth constant yield |
| Unchanging, fresh delight. |
|
| 5 | Blest Saviour, keep our spirits stayed, | 2 Timothy 4:22; 1 Peter 2:21; Revelation 7:9; Revelation 3:4; Revelation 22:4 |
| Hard following after Thee, |
| Till we, in robes of white arrayed, |
| Thy face in glory see. |
