Religion
Is it for me?
From Under the Surface
Is it for me, dear Saviour,
Thy glory and Thy rest ?
For me, so weak and sinful,
Oh, shall /thus be blessed?
Is it for me to see Thee
In all Thy glorious grace,
And gaze in endless rapture
On Thy beloved Face ?
Is it for me to listen
To Thy beloved Voice,
And hear its sweetest music
Bid even me rejoice ?
Is it for me, Thy welcome,
Thy gracious' Enter in J ?
For me, Thy « Come, ye blessed !
For me, so full of sin ?
O Saviour, precious Saviour,
My heart is at Thy feet ;
I bless Thee and I love Thee,
And Thee I long to meet.
A thrill of solemn gladness
Has hushed my very heart,
To think that I shall really
Behold Thee as Thou art ;
Behold Thee in Thy beauty,
Behold Thee face to face ;
Behold Thee in Thy glory,
And reap Thy smile of grace ;
And be with Thee for ever,
And never grieve Thee more !
Dear Saviour, I must praise Thee,
And lovingly adore.
