Our God whom we have known,
Well known in Jesus’ love,
Rests in the blessing of His own,
Before Himself above.
Glory supreme is there,
Glory that shines through all,
More precious still that love to share
As those that love did call.
Like Jesus in that place
Of light and love supreme-
Once Man of Sorrows full of grace,
Heaven’s blest and endless theme!
Like Him! Oh, grace supreme!
Like Him before Thy face!
Like Him to know that glory beam,
Unhindered, face to face!
Oh, love, supreme and bright,
Good to the feeblest heart,
That gives us now, as heavenly light,
What soon shall be our part!
