Verse 1:
C          F     C F        Dm   G7 C
Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
Am   B7       Em    A7  G      D7       G
here would we touch and handle things unseen;
G                  G7  G     G7
here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace
C          F    C     Am  G7   C
and all my weariness upon Thee lean.

Verse 2:
C            F    C F      Dm    G7 C
Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
Am   B7         Em   A7  G     D7      G
here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n;
G             G7   G         G7
here would we lay aside each earthly load,
C          F          C       Am  G7 C
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

Verse 3:
C           F    C  F       Dm  G7 C
This is the hour of banquet and of song;
Am   B7     Em    A7 G     D7         G
this is the heav'nly table spread for me;
G                  G7  G         G7
here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong
C                 F       C     Am   G7   C
the brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee.

Verse 4:
C           F     C   F       Dm G7 C
Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear;
Am  B7            Em  A7  G        D7       G
the feast, though not the love, is past and done;
G            G7        G         G7
gone are the bread and wine, but Thou art here,
C           F     C        Am     G7  C
nearer than ever, still my Shield and Sun.

Verse 5:
C           F     C    F          Dm G7  C
Feast after feast thus comes, and passes by;
Am  B7       Em     A7 G        D7     G
yet passing, points to the glad feast above;
G            G7        G      G7
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
C                F      C        Am    G7  C
the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.
