Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face
|
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; Here faith would touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, And all my weariness upon thee lean. Here would I feed upon the Bread of God; Here drink with thee the royal Wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load; Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. I have no help but thine; nor do I need Another arm save thine to lean upon: It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed, My strength is in thy might, thy might alone. |
Te, Deus, hic adversum video, fidensque tracto siqua caeca das; hic gratiam tenturus occupo, precans ut tu me fessum fulcias. Hic et divino nutriar Cibo et hauriam caeleste Poculum; hic onere terrestri posito absolvar, et novetur otium. Tua solius adiuvor ope, nec alieno brachiost opus; est hoc satis, sat est, O Domine, tuisque solis firmor viribus. |
