IS it for me, dear Savior,

‘ Thy glory and Thy rest?

For me, so poor and humble,

Oh! shall I thus be blest?

Is it for me to see Thee

In all Thy glorious grace,

And gaze in endless rapture

On Thy beloved face?

Is it for me to listen

To Thy beloved voice,

And hear its sweetest music

Bid even me rejoice?

A thrill of solemn gladness

Hath hushed my very heart

To think that I may really

Behold Thee as Thou art;

Behold Thee in Thy beauty;

Behold Thee in Thy glory

And rest in Thine embrace.
