We know, by faith we know

Charles Wesley (1744) • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-9

Verse 1

We know, by faith we know, If this vile house of clay This tabernacle, sink below In ruinous decay; We have a House above, Not made with mortal hands; And firm as our Redeemer's Love That heavenly fabvric stands.

Verse 2

It stand securely high, Indissolubly sure; Our glorious mansion in the sky Shall evermore endure. O may we enter there, To perfect heaven restored! O may we be caught up to share The triumph of our Lord!

Verse 3

O let us put on Thee In perfect holiness, And rise prepared Thy face to see, Thy bright, unclouded face! Thy grace with glory crown, Who hast the earnest given; And then triumphantly come down, And take us up to heaven!
