LORD JESUS! WHEN WE THINK OF THEE
1. Lord Jesus! when
we think of Thee,
Of all Thy love and
grace,
Our spirits long
and fain would see
Thy beauty face to
face.
2. And though the
wilderness we tread,
A barren, thirsty
ground,
With thorns and
briars overspread,
Where foes and
snares abound.
3. Yet in Thy love
such depths we see,
Our souls o'erflow
with praise -
Content ourselves,
while, Lord to Thee
A joyful song we
raise.
4. Our Lord, our
Life, our Rest, our Shield,
Our Rock, our Food,
our Light -
Each thought of
Thee doth constant yield
Unchanging, fresh
delight.
5. Blest Saviour,
keep our spirits stayed
Hard following
after Thee,
Till we, in robes
of white arrayed,
Thy face in glory
see.
