O LORD and Saviour, we recline

O LORD and Saviour, we recline
On that eternal love of
Thine.
Thou art our rest, and Thou alone
Remainest when all
else is gone.
2 Yes! "Thou remainest"; sea and
land,
E'en heaven shall pass, but Thou shalt stand:
Undimmed
Thy radiancy appears,
Changeless through all the changing
years.
3 Lord, on the throne Thy love's the same
As
once upon Thy cross of shame:
In lowliness Thou cam'st to
die;
Thou livest now for us on high.
4 We see Thee
there, the Lamb once slain;
Thy loss was our eternal gain;
We
see Thee crowned with glory now,
No shade on Thy victorious
brow.
5 The shadow dwelt on Calvary's tree,
And now
Thine unveiled face we see;
Praise be to God for that blest
word,
That "Thou remainest", blessed Lord.
