Far within the depths of glory (101)

Far within the depths of glory,
In the Father’s house above,
We have learnt His wondrous secret,
We have learnt His heart of love,
There, with Christ, first fruits have shared
Of the joys God hath prepared!

Lo, we see the glorious city,
Shining with light of God;
Hear the song that fills the heavens-
Cheers us on the midnight road
Thee, blest Singer, well we know-
Prove Thy love where’er we go!

Thy companions here, in sorrow,
In rejections, toil and loss,
We but prove Love’s wondrous sweetness,
Learn to glory in Thy cross,
Learn to sing amidst the gloom-
Sing with Thee-the songs of home!
