A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881 ‎#67

67. Like Thee, O Lord — how wondrous fair!

1 Like Thee, O Lord,--how wondrous fair,
Lord Jesus, all Thy members are!
A life divine to them is given--
The bright inheritance of heaven.

2 Just as we were we came to Thee,
As heirs of wrath and misery;
Just as Thou art--now we are Thine,
We stand in righteousness divine.

3 Just as Thou art--nor doubt nor fear
Can e'er to those like Thee be near;
O boundles slove! as Thee we've seen
The "righteousness of God in Him."

4 Just as Thou art--O blissful ray
That turned our darkness into day!
That woke us from our death of sin
To know our perfectness in Him.

5 Soon, soon, 'mid jos on joys untold,
Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
And worlds on worlds adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee.
