292. What Will It Be to Dwell Above | 6-8s. |
| by Swain, 1792 |

|
| 1 | What will it be to dwell above, |
| And with the Lord of glory reign, |
| Since the blest knowledge of His love |
| So brightens all this dreary plain? |
| No heart can think, no tongue can tell, |
| What joy 'twill be with Christ to dwell. |
|
| 2 | When left this scene of faith and strife, |
| The flesh and sense deceive no more, |
| When we shall see the Prince of life, |
| And all His works of grace explore: |
| What heights and depths of love divine |
| Will there through endless ages shine! |
|
| 3 | And God has fixed the happy day |
| When the last tear shall dim our eyes, |
| When He will wipe these tears away, |
| And fill our hearts with glad surprise; |
| To hear His voice, and see His face, |
| And know the fullness of His grace. |
