169. Lord, We Can See, by Faith in Thee

8,7.
by F. Whitfield
1
Lord, we can see, by faith in Thee,
 
A prospect bright, unfailing;
 
Where God shall shine, in light divine,
 
In glory never fading.
2
A home above, of peace and love,
 
Close to Thy holy person;
 
Thy saints shall there see glory fair,
 
And shine as Thy reflection.
3
Oh how we thirst the chains to burst,
 
That weigh our spirits downward;
 
And there to flow in love’s full glow,
 
With hearts like Thine surrounded.
4
No more as here, mid snares, to fear
 
A thought or wish unholy;
 
No more to pain the Lamb once slain,
 
But live to love Thee wholly!
5
No more to view Thy chosen few
 
In selfish strife divided;
 
But drink in peace the living grace
 
That gave them hearts united!
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.” (John 17:22)
6
Lord, haste that day of cloudless ray,
 
That prospect bright, unfailing;
 
Where God shall shine in light divine,
 
In glory never fading.
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:5)
