107: O LORD, 'tis joy to look above

107: O LORD, 'tis joy to look above

by James George Deck (1802-1884)

1 O LORD, 'tis joy to look above
And see Thee on the throne,
To search the heights and depths of love
Which Thou to us hast shown;

2 To look beyond the long dark night
And hail the coming day,
When Thou to all Thy saints in light
Thy glories wilt display.

3 And oh, 'tis joy the path to trace
By Thee so meekly trod,
Learning of Thee to walk in grace
And fellowship with God.

4 Joy to confess Thy blessed name,
The virtues of Thy blood
And to the wearied heart proclaim,
Behold the Lamb of God.
