11874. O Jesus, At Thy Feet We Wait

1 O Jesus, at Thy feet we wait,
’Till Thou shalt bid us rise,
Restored to our unsinning state,
To love’s sweet paradise.

2 Savior, from sin we Thee receive,
From all indwelling sin,
Thy Word, we steadfastly believe,
Shall make us fully clean.

3 Still we continue in Thy word,
Our faith by works we show,
Expecting to be as our Lord,
And all the truth to know.

4 The truth that makes us free indeed,
The living truth divine,
The glorious fullness of our Head
Shall in His members shine.

5 Lord, we believe, and wait the hour
That brings the promised grace,
When born of God we sin no more,
But always see Thy face.

6 Since Thou wouldst have us free from sin,
And pure as those above,
Make haste to bring Thy nature in,
Perfecting us in love.

7 The counsel of Thy love fulfill,
Come quickly, gracious Lord,
Be it according to Thy will,
According to Thy word.

8 According to our faith in Thee,
Let it to us be done;
Oh! that we all Thy face might see,
And know as we are known!

9 Oh! that the perfect gift were giv’n,
The love diffused abroad,
Oh! that our hearts were all a heav’n
For ever filled with God!
