| 1 | And shall we see Thy face, | Revelation 22:4; John 5:25; Romans 5:2 |
| And hear Thy heavenly voice, |
| Well known to us in present grace? |
| Well may our hearts rejoice. |
|
| 2 | With Thee in garments white, | Revelation 3:4; Ephesians 5:27; Luke 9:31 |
| Lord Jesus, we shall walk; |
| And spotless in that heavenly light, |
| Of all Thy sufferings talk. |
|
| 3 | Close to Thy trusted side, |
| In fellowship divine; |
| No cloud, no distance, e'er shall hide |
| Glories that then shall shine. |
|
| 4 | Fruit of Thy boundless love, | Ephesians 5:25 |
| That gave Thyself for us; |
| Forever we shall with Thee prove |
| That Thou still lov'st us thus. |
|
| 5 | And we love Thee, blest Lord, | 1 Peter 1:8 |
| E'en now, though feeble here, |
| Thy sorrow and Thy cross record |
| What makes us know Thee near. |
|
| 6 | We wait to see Thee, Lord, | 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Ephesians 3:17; John 15:9-11 |
| Yet now within our hearts |
| Thou dwell'st in love that doth afford |
| The joy that love imparts. |
|
| 7 | Yet still we wait for Thee, | 1 John 3:2 |
| To see Thee as Thou art; |
| Be with Thee, like Thee, Lord, and free |
| To love with all our heart. |
