Hymn 299 - "What will it be with God to dwell,"

 

What will it be with God to dwell,

And there to gaze on Jesus' face!

To meet the One we've known so well

As Priest and Saviour—in that place!

 

Before Christ's judgment seat to stand,

With Him look back on all the way;

To learn the meaning, at His hand,

Of every deed in every day!

 

 Clearer than ever shall we see

The grace which God our Saviour showed,

The love that led so faithfully

Along the pathless desert road.

 

 What blessedness when time is o'er,

To find that love had all-sufficed,

As there upon the heav'nly shore

We reach the day of Jesus Christ!
