O Lord! ’tis joy to look above
And see Thee on the throne;
To search the heights and depths of love
Which Thou to us hast shown
And see Thee on the throne;
To search the heights and depths of love
Which Thou to us hast shown
To look beyond the dark, long night
And hail the coming day,
When Thou, to all the saints in light,
Thy glories wilt display.
And O ’tis joy the path to trace
By Thee so meekly trod;
Learning of Thee to walk in grace
And fellowship with God.
Joy to confess Thy blessed Name,
The virtues of Thy blood,
And to the wearied heart proclaim,
Behold the Lamb of God!
