2. No longer far from Him, but now By "precious blood " made nigh, Accepted in the "Well-beloved," Near to God's heart we lie.
3. What we in glory soon shall be, It doth not yet appear; But when our precious Lord we see, We shallHis image bear.
4. With such a blessed hope in view, We would more holy be, More like our risen, glorious Lord, Whose face we soon shall see.
