LyicsO Joyful sound of gospel grace!
Christ shall in me appear!
I, even I shall see his face;
I shall be holy here.
The glorious crown of righteousness,
To me reached out I view;
Conqueror thro' Him, I soon shall seize,
And wear it as my due.
The promis'd land from Pisgah's top,
I now exult to see;
My hope is full, (O glorious hope!)
Of immortality.
He visits now this house of clay,
He shakes his future home:
O wouldst thou, Lord, on this glad day,
Into thy temple come.
With me I know, I feel thou art,
But this cannot suffice,
Unless thou plantest in my heart,
A constant paradise.
My heart thou waterest from on high,
But make it all a pool;
Spring up, O well, I ever cry,
Spring up within my soul.
Come, O my God, thyself reveal,
Fill all this mighty void;
Thou only canst my spirit fill;
Come, O my God, my God!
Fulfil, fulfil, my large desires,
Large as infinity;
Give, give me all my soul requires,
All, all that is in thee.
