[Verse 1]
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face;
Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
And all my weariness upon thee lean.

[Verse 2]
Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
Here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

[Verse 3]
This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heav'nly table spread for me;
Here let me feast, and, feasting still prolong
The brief bright hour of fellowship with thee.

[Verse 4]
I have no help but thine; nor do I need
Another arm save thine to lean upon;
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

[Verse 5]
Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing Blood;
Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace;
Thy Blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.

Amen.
