Text: | We know, by faith we know |
Author: | C. Wesley |
1 We know, by faith we know,
If this vile house of clay,
This tabernacle, sink below
In ruinous decay,
We have a house above,
Not made with mortal hands,
And firm as our Redeemer's love
That heavenly fabric stands.
2 It stands securely high,
Indissolubly sure--
Our glorious mansion in the sky
Shall evermore endure:
Oh, were we entered there,
To perfect heaven restored!
Oh, were we all caught up to share
The triumph of our Lord!
3 For this in faith we call,
For this we weep and pray:
Oh, might the tabernacle fall!
Oh, may we 'scape away!
Full of immortal hope,
We urge the restless strife,
And hasten to be swallowed up
In everlasting life.
