  1. Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
    Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
    Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
    And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

  2. This is the hour of banquet and of song;
    This is the heavenly table spread for me;
    Here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong
    The hallowed hour of fellowship with Thee.

  3. Here would I feed upon the Bread of God,
    Here drink with Thee the royal Wine of heaven;
    Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
    Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

  4. I have no help but Thine; nor do I need
    Another arm save Thine to lean upon;
    It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
    My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

  5. Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness:
    Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing
    Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;
    Thy Blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God!

  6. Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;
    Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above,
    Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
    The Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love. Amen.
