162. O Lord! 'Tis Joy to Look Above

C.M.
by J.G. Deck
1
O Lord! ’tis joy to look above,
 
And see Thee on the throne,
 
To search the heights and depths of love
 
Which Thou to us hast shown.
2
To look beyond the long dark night,
 
And hail the coming day,
 
When Thou to all Thy saints in light,
 
Thy glories wilt display.
3
And, oh! ’tis joy the path to trace,
 
By Thee so meekly trod;
 
Learning of Thee to walk in grace,
 
And fellowship with God.
4
Joy to confess Thy blessed name,
 
The virtues of Thy blood,
 
And to the wearied heart proclaim,
 
Behold the Lamb of God!
