To know Thy loving heart!
  To cleave to Thy blest side!
To gaze upon Thee where Thou art,
  And in Thy love abide!

To walk with Thee below!
  To learn Thy holy ways!
And more to Thine own stature grow,
  To Thine eternal praise!

Thyself our one Desire!
  Thyself our Object here!
The goal to which our hearts aspire—
  To meet Thee in the air!
Thyself our one Desire!
  Thyself our Object here!
The goal to which our hearts aspire—
  To meet Thee in the air!
