O FOR the robes of whiteness!
   O for the tearless eyes!
O for the glorious brightness
    Of the unclouded skies!
 
2  O for the end of weeping,
    Within that land of love,
The endless joy of keeping
    The bridal feast above!
 
3  O for the hour of seeing
    My Saviour face to face!
The hope of ever being
    In that sweet meeting-place!
 
4  Jesus! Thou King of Glory,
    I soon shall dwell with Thee;
I soon shall sing the story
    Of Thy great love to me.
 
5  Meanwhile, my thoughts shall enter
    E’en now before Thy throne,
That all my love may centre
    On Thee, and Thee alone.
