Here, O Our Lord, We See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:9 Lyrics: 1 Here, O our Lord, I see Thee face to face, Here would we touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all our weariness upon You lean. 2 We have no help but Yours, nor do we need Another arm save Yours to lean upon. It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; Our strength is in Your might, Your might alone. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; This is the heavenly table for us spread; Here let us feast and, feasting, still prolong The fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; The bread and wine remove; but You art here, Nearer than ever, still our Shield and Sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.
