O XFORD Tune .

How sweet to wait upon the Lord
While he fulfils his gracious word;
So seek his face, and not in vain;
So be belov'd, and love again!

So see, while prostrate at his feet,
Jehovah on the mercy seat;
And Jesus, at the Lord's right hand,
With his divine atonement stand!

" Father," he cries, " I will that these,
" Before thee on their bended knees,
" For whom my life I once laid down,
" Be with me soon on this my throne!"

Amen, our hearts with rapture cry,
May we with rev'rence look so high!
Ascended Saviour, fix our eyes
By faith upon this glorious prize!

With this delightful prospect fir'd,
We'll run, nor in thy ways be tir'd;
And all the trials here we see
Will make us long to reign with thee.
