O Son of God, in co-eternal might

Author: Wilhelm Loehe, d. 1872; Harriet Reynolds Spaeth Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, in co-eternal might, O Son of Man, clothed in the living light Of Godhead manifest, in power and glory; Lord Jesus Christ, Thou sole Desire That doth Thy longing worshippers inspire, For Thee alone, my spirit yearns in me: No bliss I find until I am with Thee. 2 The field is golden, flowers the meadow strew, The mountains rise sublime, the skies are blue; In these the child of earth may well find pleasure; I too, rejoice in all of them, But, not content, I want Jerusalem. Where Thou art throned, thither sets my sail; Home is not home, except within the veil. 3 Angelic legions, in Thy brightness bight Gaze on Thy face; my fathers share the sight; The God-man's matchless glory is unshrouded, And from that vision, to the soul Unmeasured waves of joy supernal roll, That rise in full and ever fuller tone, Like ocean surges, to the Lamb's white throne. 4 Then let me go,--what further hinders me?-- To mine own folk, the Son of Man to see. No glance will I, of that majestic beauty My eager soul would take her fill. Joy even now, and trembling, through me thrill. I must away! Thou hast prepared my place; My spirit panteth, Lord, to see Thy face. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: O GOTTESSOHN
