[That happiest day I long to see]
At that day ye shall know that I am in My, &c.
—xiv. 20.
That happiest day I long to see,
To fathom the great mystery,
And by Thy Spirit know
That Thou dost in Thy Father dwell,
One God incomprehensible
But by the church below.
To fathom the great mystery,
And by Thy Spirit know
That Thou dost in Thy Father dwell,
One God incomprehensible
But by the church below.
Thy members with Thyself are one,
Flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone,
Who didst our nature take;
And when Thou hast Thy Spirit shed,
Assured that Thou art man indeed,
We here Thy body make.
Flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone,
Who didst our nature take;

Assured that Thou art man indeed,
We here Thy body make.
In Thee we then are creatures new,
And testify that Thou art true
And dost Thy Spirit give;
Thy nature, image, mind impart,
And still in every faithful heart
Our hope of glory live.
And testify that Thou art true
And dost Thy Spirit give;
Thy nature, image, mind impart,
And still in every faithful heart
Our hope of glory live.
Conscious of the indwelling God,
We feel Thy love diffused abroad,
Thy perfect love reveal'd:
Come is our day of Pentecost,
And Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
His spotless church hath fill'd.
