O GOD! WE SEE THEE IN THE LAMB
1. O God! We see
Thee in the Lamb
To be our hope, our
joy, our rest;
The glories that
compose Thy Name,
Standing engaged to
make us blest.
2. Thou great and
good! Thou just and wise!
Hail! as our Father
and our God!
For we are Thine by
sacred ties,
Thy sons and
daughters - bought with blood.
3. With fainting
hearts we come to Thee,
For Thee we long,
to Thee we look;
Forlorn, cast down,
Thy grace we seek,
As pants the hart
for cooling brook.
4. Then, oh! to us
this grace afford,
That far from Thee
we ne'er may move;
Our guard - the
presence of the Lord;
Our joy - Thy
perfect present love.
5. This gives us
ever to rejoice,
Turning to light
our darkest day;
And lifts on high
each feeble voice,
While we have breath to praise or pray.
