With Jesus Christ together we In heavenly places sit, Cloath'd with the sun,89 we smile to see The moon beneath our feet. Our life is hid with Christ in God, Our life shall soon appear, And spread his glory all abroad In all his members here. The heavenly treasure now we have In a mean house of clay, Which he shall to the utmost save And guard against that day. Our souls are in his mighty hand, And he will keep them still, And you and I shall surely stand With him on Sion's hill. Him eye to eye we there shall see, Our face like his shall shine: O what a glorious company, When saints and angels join! 89Ori., "Son"; corrected in Dublin (1747) and following. Page 70 O what a joyful meeting there! In robes of white array'd, Palms in our hands we all shall bear, And crowns upon our head. Then let us lawfully contend, And fight our passage through, Bear in our faithful mind the end, And keep the prize in view; Then let us hasten to the day When all shall be brought home: Come, O Redeemer, come away! O Jesus, quickly come!
