We seek the things that are above

Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 We seek the things that are above,
Beyond this earth and sky,
Whence, Lord, Thou lookest down in love
From God's right hand on high.

2 In yon refulgent realms of light
Our part, our life we see;
Thou art the Father's own delight,
And we are graced in Thee.

3 Our hidden life in God art Thou,
But soon Thou shalt appear,
In radiant bliss shall every brow
Thy glorious image bear.
