O risen Lord, God’s deep delights (54)

O risen Lord, God’s deep delights
Thou dost not taste alone!
In Thee we tread those radiant heights,
And know Thy bliss our own!

We share, in glory far above
This scene that sense can see,
The sweetness of the Father’s love,
In unison with Thee!

By faith we see Thee glory crowned
Ourselves in Thee through grace!
By faith we rest where Thou art throned,
And gaze upon Thy face!

The fullness of Thy joy we share,
Ours now for evermore!
Our need, ourselves, forgotten there,
Thee, Lord, our hearts adore!

One Spirit with Thee, glorious Lord,
Our praise to Thee is sweet
As to Thy heart the love that poured
The ointment on Thy feet!
