O Lord and Savior, We Recline

O Lord and Sav­ior

we re­cline

On that eter­nal love of Thine;

Thou art our rest

and Thou alone

Remainest when all else is gone.

Yes! Thou re­main­est: sea and land

E’en Heav’n shall pass

but Thou shalt stand;

Undimmed

Thy ra­di­an­cy ap­pears

Changeless thro’ all the chang­ing years.

Lord

on the throne Thy love’s the same

As once up­on Thy cross of shame;

In low­li­ness Thou cam’st to die

Thou liv­est now for us on high.

We see Thee there

the Lamb once slain;

Thy loss was our eter­nal gain;

We see Thee crowned with glo­ry now

No shade on Thy vic­tor­ious brow.

The sha­dow dwelt on Cal­v’ry’s tree

And now Thine un­veiled face we see;

Praise be to God for that blest word

That Thou re­main­est

bless­èd Lord.
