The Church Hymnal ‎#216

216. Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face

1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God;
Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

3 I have no help but Thine; nor do I need
Another arm save Thee to lean upon;
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

4 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness:
Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood:
Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;
Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord, my God!
