Dr. John B Dykes, 1823-76 1. Jesus, the very thought of Thee with sweetness fills my breast; but sweeter far Thy face to see, and in Thy presence rest. 2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, nor can the mem'ry find a sweeter sound than Thy blest Name, O Saviour of mankind! 3. O hope of ev'ry contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, to those who fall, how kind Thou art! How good to those who seek! 4. But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but His loved ones know. 5. Jesus, our only joy be Thou, as Thou our prize will be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now, and through eternity. + Hymn 3 In Heavenly Love Abiding Anna Laetitia Waring 1823-1910 Tune: PENLAN, David Jenkins, 1848-1915 1. In heav'nly love abiding no change my heart shall fear. And safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid, but God is round about me, and can I be dismayed? 2. Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back. My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh; His sight is never dim. He knows the way He taketh, and I will walk with Him. 3. Green pastures are before me which yet I have not seen. Bright skies will soon be o'er me where the dark clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, my path to life is free. My Saviour has my treasure, and He will walk with me. + Hymn 4 Face to Face with Christ, My Saviour Carrie E. Breck 1855-1934 Tune: FACE TO FACE, Rev. Grant C Tullar, 1869-1950 1. Face to face with Christ, my Saviour, face to face—what will it be, when with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me? Face to face I shall behold Him, far beyond the starry sky; face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by! 2. Only faintly now I see Him, with the darkened veil between, but a blessèd day is coming, when His glory shall be seen. Face to face ... 3. What rejoicing in His presence, when are banish'd grief and pain; when the crooked ways are straighten'd, and the dark things shall be plain. Face to face ... 4. Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so. Face to face I shall behold Him, far beyond the starry sky; face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!
