Yes, love divine in Thee I know;
The Father’s glories soon
Shall burst upon my ravished view —
Thyself my eternal crown!
Yet I will wait, in labor still
In Thy blest service here:
What Thou hast given me to fulfill —
Thy will — to me is dear!
Lord! let me wait for Thee alone:
My life be only this —
To serve Thee here on earth unknown;
Then share Thy heavenly bliss.
His counsels, all, fulfilled in Thee;
His work of love complete —
And heavenly hosts shall rest, to see
Earth blest beneath Thy feet!
J. N. Darby
