Hymn 79 — God and the Lamb -- 'tis well
| 79 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | S.M. |
| 1 |
God and the Lamb -- 'tis well I know that source divine Of joy and love no tongue can tell, Yet know that all is mine. | |
| 2 |
The Lamb is there, my soul, Where God Himself doth rest In love divine diffused through all, With Him supremely blest. | |
| 3 |
There on the hidden bread Of Christ, once humbled here -- God's treasured store -- for ever fed, His love my soul shall cheer. | |
| 4 |
Called by that secret name Of undisclosed delight (Blest answer to reproach and shame), Graved on the stone of white. | |
| 5 |
There in effulgence bright, Saviour and Guide, with Thee I'll walk, and in Thy heav'nly light Whiter my robe shall be. | |
| 6 |
There, in th'unsullied way Which His own hand hath dressed, My feet press on, where brightest day Shines forth on all the Rest. | |
| 7 |
But who that glorious blaze Of living light shall tell, Where all His brightness God displays, And the Lamb's glories dwell? | |
| 8 |
There with unwearied gaze Our eyes on Him we'll rest, And satisfy with endless praise Our hearts supremely blest. | |
