1. O Thou, whose wondrous love had given | |||
Thine own and only Son for man, | |||
Ere shone the earliest star in heaven | |||
Or earth was framed or time began. | |||
And chosen us in Him to be | |||
His Bride for all eternity: | |||
2. Thou, who hast deigned for us to build | |||
The mansions of Jerusalem, | |||
With all Thy gifts of goodnesss filled | |||
And rich withcrystal, gold and gem. | |||
Whose gates and walls and streets declare | |||
One glorious name, "The Lord is there:" | |||

3. Now in this little space between | |||
Two vast eternities of love, | |||
This narrow isthmus of things seen | |||
Thy children cross to rest above, | |||
Wilt Thou refuse to be our Guide | |||
And all our daily needs provide? | |||
4. Oh shame upon the faithless heart | |||
Which harbours such a thought of Thee! | |||
My God, that Thou art what Thou art | |||
Is promise, aye, and proof to me | |||
While passing through this shadowy vale | |||
The cruse of oil shall never fail. | |||

5. From everlasting I am Thine | |||
In Thy free covenant of grace: | |||
To everlasting Thou art mine | |||
In faith's response and love's enbrace: | |||
This life our Father gave and planned | |||
Is safe in His Almighty hand. Amen. | |||
