Author: Charitie Lees Bancroft Hymnal: The Bright Array #129 (1889) Lyrics: 1 O for the robe of whiteness,
O for the tearless eyes;
O for the glorious brightness
Of the unclouded skies!
O for the no more weeping
Within the land of love—
The endless joy of keeping
The bridal feast above.
2 O for the bliss of dying,
My risen Lord to meet;
O for the rest of lying
For ever at His feet!
O for the hour of seeing
My Saviour face to face,—
The hope of ever being
In that sweet meeting-place! Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Tune Title: [O for the robe of whiteness]
O for the Robe of Whiteness
