O Lord! how wonderful it is,
That I may walk with Thee;
A sinner saved, thro' sovereign grace,
And from my sins set free.
Yes; glory's light upon me shines,
All beaming from Thy face;
At home with Thee in spirit now,
I find my favored place.
Apart from earth's poor, idle, dreams,
Thou art Thyself my rest;
For now, before Thy God, I stand,
In Thee supremely blest.
There's naught below can satisfy
The cravings of my soul;
My life is hid with Christ in God,
His touch hath made me whole.
Forever, Lord, then fix my gaze,
Upon Thy wounded side;
Till, in the Paradise of God,
With Thee I shall abide.
Then, changed into Thine image fair,
Eternal joys are mine;
What Will it be to see Thy face,
And in Thy glory shine?
