And can we forget

Verse 1
And can we forget
In tasting our meat
The angelical food which e’er long we shall eat:
When inroll’d with the blest
In glory we rest
And forever sit down at the heavenly feast!

Verse 2
O the infinite height
Of our solemn delight
While we look on the Saviour and walk in his sight!
The blessing who knows,
The joy he bestows
While we follow the Lamb, wheresoever he goes?

Verse 3
What good can we need,
Whom Jesus doth feed,
And to fountains of life beatifical lead?
Lo! He sits on his throne,
Lo! He dwells with his own,
And inlarges our souls with his mercies unknown.

Verse 4
Not a spirit above
To perfection can prove
Or count his unsearchable riches of love:
But we all shall obtain
What none can explain,
And in Jesus’s bosom eternally reign.
