Hymns 207 Lord Jesus, When We Think Of Thee
James G. Deck // Moore's Psalm-Singer's Pocket Companion, 1756
8.6.8.6.
1 Lord Jesus, when we think of Thee,
Of all Thy love and grace,
Our spirits long and fain would see
Thy beauty face to face.
2 And though the wilderness we tread,
A barren, thirsty ground,
With thorns and briars overspread,
Where foes and snares abound.
3 Yet in Thy love such depths we see,
Our hearts o'erflow with praise -
Content ourselves, while, Lord to Thee
A joyful song we raise.
4 Our Lord, our Life, our Rest, our Shield,
Our Rock, our Food, our Light;
Each thought of Thee doth constant yield
Unchanging, fresh delight.
5 Blest Savior, keep our spirit stayed,
Hard following after Thee,
Till we, in victory displayed,
Thy face in glory see.
