Hymns for the Use of Families, 162

Fain would I, Lord, obtain the grace.
Before I hence remove,
To see a few unruffled days,
And my Redeemer love.

O might I with Thy people bless'd
Thy great salvation see,
Anticipate the glorious rest
And find it now in Thee.

Give me the hidden bliss to feel,
The heavenly powers to taste
Realities invisible,
And joys that ever last.

Eternal life begun below
I in Thy favour prove,
And all Thy gifts Thou dost bestow
By giving me Thy love.
