[When Christ doth to the soul appear]
Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us, &c.
—ix. 5.
When Christ doth to the soul appear,
How good, how pleasant to be here!
Eternal life in Him we know,
And paradise regain'd below:
But if on earth so sweet it is
A drop of that celestial bliss,
What will His saints enjoy above
In the full ocean of His love?
How good, how pleasant to be here!
Eternal life in Him we know,
And paradise regain'd below:
But if on earth so sweet it is
A drop of that celestial bliss,
What will His saints enjoy above
In the full ocean of His love?
Happy who in His house abide,
Enroll'd among the glorified!
They tell the riches of His grace,
They sing in ecstasy of praise,
“How good for us Thy joy to gain,
And sharers of Thy kingdom reign;
To cast our crowns before Thy throne,
One with our Head, for ever one!”
Enroll'd among the glorified!
