Earthly joys, like gleams of sunshine,
Quickly come, and quickly go,
Satisfying for a moment
Those who: pleasures here may know.
But true joy in all its fullness
We shall find in heaven above,
Blest in Jesus' glorious presence
And the sunshine of His love.
Yet the feeble comprehension
Of His wondrous love and grace
Is e'en here a happy foretaste
Of our joy when "face to face.”
