| 1. Oh, the wondrous joy of dwelling
Father, in Thy house above!
Every feature Christ reflecting,
And Thine own surpassing love.
2. Thoughts divine
conceived in purpose,
There fulfilled for Thy delight;
All that shone in Christ,
once humbled,
There expands in glory's light.
3. By the Spirit's power
is strengthened
Every eye on Him to gaze;
Every view of Him unfolding
Wakes fresh bursts of joyful praise!
4. Every circle gathered round Thee
Yields of Christ some beauteous ray;
And for Thy delight and pleasure
Shines throughout the eternal day.
5. There Thy love o'er all transcendent
Shall for ever find its rest;
While each heart, its joy outpouring,
In that love is ever blest.
