Page 181 - My faith, that sees so darkly here, Will there resign to vision clear ; My hope, that's here a weary groan, Will to fruition yield the throne. Here fetters hamper freedom's wing, But there the captive is a king ; And grace is like a buried seed, But sinners there are saints indeed.
Page 194 - Our Lord is ours, and we are his ; Yea, now we see him as he is ; And hence we like unto him are, And full his glorious image share.

" This, this, does heav'n enough afford, We are for ever with the Lord; We want no more, for all is giv'n; His presence is the heart of heav'n.
