Hymn 452 — Lord, to be in Thine own presence
| 452 | B. SCHMOLCK (1672-1737) from German | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
Lord, to be in Thine own presence Joy unspeakable will be; We shall there with hearts exulting Offer endless praise to Thee. | |
| 2 |
Every eye shall then behold Thee, Gaze upon Thee as Thou art; Every heart, in love delighting, Shall fulfil its glorious part. | |
| 3 |
Every ear Thine accents hearing, Which have quickened us below; Every mouth Thy glory telling, Filled by Thee, Thy praise to show. | |
| 4 |
Blessed Saviour, what rejoicing, What delight we then shall share! Freed at last to serve unhindered, Praising Thee for ever there. | |
| 5 |
By the Spirit we already Taste of love divine below; At Thy feet we praise and worship -- Love ineffable we know. | |
