1 Oh, the wondrous joy of dwelling
Father, in Thy house above!
Every feature Christ reflecting,
And Thine own surpassing love.
2 Thoughts divine conceived in purpose,
There fulfilled for Thy delight:
All that shone in Christ, once humbled,
There expands in glory's light.
3 By the Spirit's pow'r is strengthened
Every eye on Himto gaze;
Every view of Him unfolding
Wakes fresh bursts of joyful praise!
4 Every circle gathered round Thee
Yields of christ som ebeauteous ray;
And for Thy delight and pleasure
Shines throughout the eternal day.
5 There Thy love o'er all transceendent
Shall for ever find its rest;
While each heart, its joy outpouring,
In that love is ever blest.
