By Frances Ridley Havergal

Thou art coming! At thy table We are witnesses for this, While remembering hearts thou meetest, In communion clearest, sweetest, Earnest of our coming bliss, Showing not thy death alone, And thy love exceeding great, But thy coming and thy throne— All for which we long and wait.

Not a cloud and not a shadow, Not a mist and not a tear, Not a sin and not a sorrow, Not a dim and veiled to-morrow, For that sunrise grand and clear! Jesus, Saviour, once with thee Nothing else seems worth a thought. O, how marvelous will be All the bliss thy pain hath bought!
