O God! we see Thee in the Lamb

O God! we see Thee in the Lamb

To be our hope

our joy

our rest;

The glories that compose Thy name

Standing engaged to make us blest.

Thou great and good! Thou just and wise!

Hail! as our Father and our God!

For we are Thine by sacred ties

Thy sons and daughters—bought with blood.

Then

Oh! to us this grace afford

That far from Thee we ne’er may move;

Our guard—the presence of the Lord;

Our joy—Thy perfect present love.

This gives us ever to rejoice

Turning to light our darkest days;

And lifts on high each feeble voice

While we have breath to pray or praise.
