“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” 1 Peter 1:88Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: (1 Peter 1:8).
Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee we raise
With willing lips our heartfelt praise,
We’d sing Thy worth in heavenly lays,
Our Savior Lord.
Sent forth from God, Thou living One,
In life, in death, God’s will hast done;
And now on high God’s glorious Son
Art worthy owned.
O! Lord of life (in death alone),
Around Thee now Thou hast Thine own;
To whom Thou dost Thy love make known
As known above.
And soon will dawn that glorious day,
When all Thine own will wing their way
From this sad earth to be for aye
With Him they love.
With Him, like Him, we all shall see
Our Lord long loved; and then shall we
With deepest joy, eternally
His name adore.
