Hymns for the Use of Families, 41

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns for the Use of Families, and on Various Occasions (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

How happy we whom grace unites
In Jesus' precious name,
Whom mercy's secret call invites
To banquet with the Lamb!

We see our kind Supporter's hand,
And joyfully adore,
And hastening to the heavenly land,
We send our hearts before.

Jesus shall there our hearts secure
And keep our life above,
As sure as Christ is God, as sure
As Christ our God is love.

And when He has prepared our place,
Our Lord again shall come —
Come, Lord, and show Thy glorious face,
And look Thy pilgrims home!
