Tune: | LANGRAN |
Composer: | James Langran, 1835-1909 |
1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer hand the 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 heav'n;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heav'nly table spread for me;
Here let me feast, and, feasting still prolong
The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee.
4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear;
The feast, though not the love is past and gone;
The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here,
Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 I have no help but Thine, nor do I need
Another arm save Thine to lean upon.
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.
Amen.
