"When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him."

Oh! mean may seem this house of clay, Yet 'twas the Lord's abode; Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Yet here Immanuel trod.
This fleshly robe the Lord did wear, This watch the Lord did keep; These burdens sore the Lord did bear, These tears the Lord did weep.
Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given.
But not this earthly robe alone Shall link us, Lord, to thee; Not always in the tear and groan Shall thy dear kindred be.
We shall be reckoned for thine own, Because thy heaven we share; Because we sing around thy throne, And thy bright raiment wear. —Sel.
