Fain would I, Lord, obtain the grace

Verse 1
Fain would I, Lord, obtain the grace,
Before I hence remove,
To see a few unruffled days,
And my Redeemer love.

Verse 2
O might I with thy people blest
Thy great salvation see,
Anticipate the glorious rest
And find it now in thee.

Verse 3
Give me the hidden bliss to feel
The heavenly powers to taste
Realities invisible,
And joys that ever last.

Verse 4
Eternal life begun below
I in thy favour prove,
And all thy gifts thou dost bestow
By giving me thy love.
