A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881‎#12

Text:

1 Sing without ceasing, sing
The Saviour's present grace.
How all things shine in light divine
For those who've seen His face.

2 He's gone within the vail,
For us that place has won;
In Him we stand, a heavenly band,
Where He Himself is gone.

3 There all's unsullied light,
our hearts let in its rays;
And heavenly light makes all things bright,
Seen in that blissful gaze.

4 Such here on earth we are,
Thought we in weakness roam;
Our place on high, God's self so nigh;
His presence is our home.

5 And stayed by joy divine,
As hireling fills his day,
Through scenes of strife and desert-life
We tread in peace our way.

6 That way is upward still,
Where life and glory are;
Our rest's above; in perfect love
The glory we shall share.

7 Forever with the Lord,
Forever like Him then,
And see His face in that blest place,
Our Father's house in heaven.
