Hymn 151 — Lord Jesus, when we think of Thee,
| 151 | J. G. DECK (1807-1884) | C.M. |
| 1 |
Lord Jesus, when we think of Thee, Of all Thy love and grace, Our spirits long and fain would see Thy beauty, face to face. | |
| 2 |
And though the wilderness we tread, A barren, thirsty ground, With thorns and briars overspread, Where foes and snares abound; | |
| 3 |
Yet in Thy love such depths we see, Our souls well forth in praise -- Content ourselves, while, Lord, to Thee A joyful song we raise. | |
| 4 |
Our Lord, our Life, our rest, our Shield, Our Rock, our Food, our Light; Each thought of Thee doth constant yield Unchanging, fresh delight. | |
| 5 |
Blest Saviour, keep our spirits stayed, Hard following after Thee, Till we, in robes of white arrayed, Thy face in glory see. | |
