1 We know, by faith we know,
If this vile house of clay,
This tabernacle sink below,
In ruinous decay;
We have a house above,
Not made with mortal hands,
And firm, as our Redeemer’s love,
The heav’nly fabric stands.
2 It stands securely high,
Indissolubly sure;
Our glorious mansion in the sky
Shall evermore endure;
O were we entered there!
To perfect Heav’n restored!
O were we all caught up to share
The triumph of our Lord!
3 For this in faith we call,
For this we weep and pray;
O might the tabernacle fall;
O might we ’scape away!
Full of immortal hope,
We urge the restless strife,
And hasten to be swallowed up,
In everlasting life.
4 Absent, alas! from God,
We in the body mourn;
And pine to quit this mean abode,
And languish to return;
Jesus, regard our vows,
And change our faith to sight;
And clothe us with our nobler house,
Of empyrean light!
5 O let us put on Thee!
In perfect holiness!
And rise prepared Thy face to see
Thy bright unclouded face;
Thy grace with glory crown,
Who hast the earnest giv’n;
And now triumphantly come down
And take our souls to Heav’n!
