Hymn 83 — O the wondrous joy of dwelling,
| 83 | H. P. WELLS | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
O the wondrous joy of dwelling, Father, in Thy house above! Every feature Christ reflecting, And Thine own surpassing love. | |
| 2 |
Thoughts divine conceived in purpose, There fulfilled for Thy delight; All that shone in Christ, once humbled, There expands in glory's light. | |
| 3 |
By the Spirit's power is strengthened Every eye on Him to gaze; Every view of Him unfolding Wakes fresh bursts of joyful praise! | |
| 4 |
Every circle gathered round Thee Yields of Christ some beauteous ray; And for Thy delight and pleasure Shines throughout th'eternal day. | |
| 5 |
There Thy love o'er all transcendent Shall for ever find its rest; While each heart, its joy outpouring, In that love is ever blest. | |
