CCXVIII. Glorification with Christ

1 By grace we know, to us it's clear,
When Christ, our Saviour, shall appear,
We shall be like him, O what bliss!
For we shall see him as he is.

2 When as he is, we him descry,
In spirit's light and mystery;
Unnumber'd beauties in him shine,
Beauties of God, and man divine:

3 Beauties of holiness and grace,
Adorn our Saviour's lovely face;
Eternal truth and righteousness
Doth he, in purity possess.

4 When as he is, we him do see,
From evy'r spot and wrinkle free:
How glorious is the worthy Lamb!
How venerable is his name!

5 But, O what glorious Grace is this!
That when we see him as he is,
We see ourselves, and are assur'd
That we are like our dearest Lord.

6 As we his mystic fulness are,
He gives us each a member's share
In all his grace: the favour'd bride
Is with his likeness satisfied.
