What blessings hast Thou given to us!
Yea, first, and best, fruit of Thy cross,
We have Thee, Lord,
And Thou art wondrous wealth untold!
Then daily, secrets sweet unfold
From Thy blest Word.
And oh, what fellowship so dear!
Each others' lonely hearts to cheer,
Along the way,
The while we wait for Thee to come,
And take us to Thy Father's home
At break of day.
What more? Ah, there is just this grace-
That we may soon behold Thy face,
Its beauty see;
And oh, blest Lord, to be with Thee,
Yet, stranger still, to be like Thee
Eternally!
