O Jesus, at Thy Feet We Wait

O Je­sus

at Thy feet we wait

’Till Thou shalt bid us rise

Restored to our un­sin­ning state

To love’s sweet para­dise.

Savior

from sin we Thee re­ceive

From all in­dwell­ing sin

Thy Word

we stead­fastly be­lieve

Shall make us ful­ly clean.

Still we con­tinue in Thy word

Our faith by works we show

Expecting to be as our Lord

And all the truth to know.

The truth that makes us free in­deed

The liv­ing truth di­vine

The glo­ri­ous full­ness of our Head

Shall in His mem­bers shine.

Lord

we be­lieve

and wait the hour

That brings the pro­mised grace

When born of God we sin no more

But al­ways see Thy face.

Since Thou wouldst have us free from sin

And pure as those ab­ove

Make haste to bring Thy na­ture in

Perfecting us in love.

The cou­nsel of Thy love ful­fill

Come quick­ly

gra­cious Lord

Be it ac­cord­ing to Thy will

According to Thy word.

According to our faith in Thee

Let it to us be done;

Oh! that we all Thy face might see

And know as we are known!

Oh! that the per­fect gift were giv’n

The love dif­fused abroad

Oh! that our hearts were all a heav’n

For ev­er filled with God!
