Lord, we can see,
by faith in Thee,
A prospect bright, unfailing,
Where God shall shine,
in light divine,
In glory never fading.
A home above,
of peace and love,
Close to Thy holy person!
Thy saints shall there
see glory fair,
And shine as Thy reflection.
Oh! how we thirst
the chains to burst,
That weigh our spirits downward,
And there to flow, in love's full glow,
With hearts like Thine surrounded.
No more as here,
'mid snares to fear
A thought or wish unholy!
No more to pain
the Lamb once slain,
But live to love Thee wholly!
No more to view
Thy chosen few
In selfish strife divided!
But drink in peace the living grace
That gave them hearts united!
Lord, haste that day
of cloudless ray,
That prospect bright, unfailing,
Where God shall shine
in light divine,
In glory never fading.
