272. Ah! Who Upon Earth Can Conceive | 8s. |
| by Wesley |

|
| 1 | Ah! who upon earth can conceive | Revelation 21:23; John 17:13; 1 Peter 1:8 |
| The bliss that with Jesus we'll share? |
| Or who this dark world would not leave |
| And earnestly long to be there? |
| There Christ is the light and the sun, |
| His glories unhinderedly shine; |
| Already our joy is begun, |
| Our rest is the glory divine. |
|
| 2 | 'Tis good, at His word, to be here, | Philippians 1:23; Matthew 25:21,23; 1 Thessalonians 4:17 |
| Yet better e'en now to be gone, |
| And there in His presence appear, |
| And rest where He rests on the throne; |
| Yet, ah! what the joy 'twill afford, |
| When Him we shall see in the air: |
| And enter the joy of the Lord, |
| Forever to be with Him there. |
