Hymn 64 — O bright and blessed scenes,
| 64 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | S.M. |
| 1 |
O bright and blessed scenes, Where sin can never come; Whose sight our longing spirit weans From earth, where yet we roam. | |
| 2 |
And can we call our home Our Father's house on high, The rest of God our rest to come Our place of liberty? | |
| 3 |
Yes! in that light unstained Our stainless souls shall live; Our hearts' deep longings more than gained When God His rest shall give. | |
| 4 |
His presence there, my soul Its rest, its joy untold Shall find, when endless ages roll, And time shall ne'er grow old. | |
| 5 |
Like Jesus in that place Of light and love supreme, Once Man of sorrows, full of grace, Heav'n's blest and endless theme. | |
| 6 |
O love supreme and bright, Good to the feeblest heart, That gives us now as heav'nly light What soon shall be our part! | |
