1 0 WONDROUs type, O vision fair,
Of glory that the church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun He glows!
2 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest to-day
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
3 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
4 O Father, with the eternal Sɔn,
And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace
To see Thy glory face to face.
1 I KNOW that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head!
2 He lives to bless me with His love;
He lives to plead for me above;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.
3 O may Thy sheep discern Thy voice,
And in its sacred sound rejoice;
From strangers may they ever flee,
And know no other guide but Thee!
Lord, bring Thy sheep that wander yet,
And let the number be complete ;
Then let Thy flock from earth remove,
And occupy the fold above!
1 JESUS, Thou joy of loving hearts! Thou fount of life! Thou light of men! From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn, unfilled, to Thee again.
2 We taste Thee, O Thou living bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the fountain-head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
3 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad when Thy gracious smile we see, Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
4 O Jesus, ever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright,
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.
