36*. We Go to Meet the Saviour | 7,6. |
| by Paul Gerhardt |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | We go to meet the Saviour, | 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 22:4; 1 John 3:3; Hebrews 13:20-21 |
| His glorious face to see; |
| What manner of behavior |
| Doth with this hope agree? |
| May God's illumination |
| Guide heart and walk aright; |
| That so our preparation |
| Be pleasing in His sight. |
|
| 2 | We'd gladly while the hours, | Romans 13:11; 1 Corinthians 2:8 |
| Till night shall pass away, |
| And chant with all our powers |
| The blessings of that day; |
| To Thee, the Lord of glory, |
| We'd raise the happy song, |
| And make Thy love's bright story |
| The theme of every tongue. |
|
| 3 | Not sinful man's endeavor, | Titus 3:5 |
| Nor any mortal's care, |
| Could draw Thy sovereign favor |
| To sinners in despair; |
| Uncalled, Thou cam'st with gladness, |
| Us from the fall to raise, |
| And change our grief and sadness |
| To songs of joy and praise. |
