lyrics
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face.
And here will I touch, and handle things unseen.
Here, with firmer hand, I grasp eternal grace.
And all of my weariness, upon thee lean.
I have seen the Son, the ever-reigning Lord,
prove his promise does not fail.
May the bonds of love, that call me to His side,
Grow ever deeper and fuller still.
I would have no help, nor do I need
Another arm, but thine and thine alone
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed
Thy strength is all I dare to lean upon
I have seen the Son, the ever-reigning Lord,
prove his promise does not fail.
May the bonds of love, that call me to His side,
Grow ever deeper and fuller still.
Here would I feed, upon the bread of God
And here the new wine, is poured out for me.
Here would I lay aside the world’s best love,
And here would I taste, God’s love, wild and free.
