176. Lord, We Shall See Thee as Thou Art

Lord, we shall see Thee as Thou art
 
In yonder mansions fair,
 
We shall behold Thee face to face,
 
Thy glorious image bear.

With what delight, what wond’ring love,
 
Each thrilling heart shall swell,
 
When we, as sharers of Thy joy,
 
Are called in heaven to dwell!

Oh hasten, hasten on that hour,
 
And call us to Thy seat:
 
Lord, Thou without us ne’er wilt count
 
Thy joy and work complete.
