Sheet music
- 1Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;Here would I touch and handle things unseen;Here grasp with firmer hand th’eternal grace,And all my weariness upon Thee lean.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.
- 2Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;Yet, passing points to the glad feast above-Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bless and love.
