Christ My Song - 682

And shall we see thy face - Hope
(John Nelson Darby/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Hope.

(1881)

1. And shall we see thy face,
  and hear thy heavenly voice,
well known to us in present grace!
  well may our hearts rejoice. (PDF - Midi)

2. With thee in garments white,
  O Jesus, we shall walk;
and, spotless in that heavenly light,
  of all thy sufferings talk.

3. Close to thy trusted side,
  in fellowship divine,
no cloud, no distance, e'er shall hide
  glories that there shall shine.

4. Fruit of thy boundless love
  that gave thyself for us –
for ever we shall with thee prove
  that thou still lov'st us thus.

5. And we love thee, blessed Lord,
  e'en now, though feeble here;
thy sorrows and thy cross record
  what makes us know thee near.

6. We wait to see thee, Lord!
  Yet now within our hearts
thou dwell'st in love, that doth afford
  the joy that love imparts.

7. Yet still we wait for thee,
  to see thee as thou art,
be with thee, like thee, Lord, and free
  to love with all our heart.

John Nelson Darby, Spiritual Songs, 64-65.
