Lord Jesus, when I think of Thee, Of all Thy love and grace

Verse 1

Lord Jesus! when I think of thee, Of all thy love and grace, My spirit longs and fain would see Thy beauty, face to face.

Verse 2

And though the wilderness I tread, A barren, thirsty ground, With thorns and briars overspread, Where foes and snares abound;--

Verse 3

Yet in thy love such depths I see, My soul o'erflows with praise-- Contents itself, while, Lord, to thee A joyful song I raise.

Verse 4

My Lord, my Life, my Rest, my Shield, My Rock, my Food, my Light; Each thought of thee doth constant yield Unchanging, fresh delight.

Verse 5

My Saviour, keep my spirit stayed, Hard following after thee; Till I, in robes of white arrayed, Thy face in glory see.
