 1 

Marvel not that Christ in glory

All my inmost heart hath won;

Not a star to cheer my darkness,

But a light beyond the sun,

All below lies dark and shadowed,

Nothing here to claim my heart,

Save the lonely track of sorrow

Where of old He walked apart.

 
 2 

Others in the earthly sunshine

Wearily may journey on,

I have seen a light from heaven

Past the brightness of the sun —

Light that knows no cloud, no waning,

Light wherein I see His face,

All His love's uncounted treasures,

All the riches of His grace:

 
 3 

All the wonders of His glory,

Deeper wonders of His love —

How for me He won, He keepeth

That high standing all above;

Not a glimpse — the veil uplifted —

But within the veil to dwell,

Gazing on His face forever,

Hearing words unspeakable.

 
 4 

I have seen the face of Jesus —

Tell me not of aught beside;

I have heard the voice of Jesus —

All my soul is satisfied.

In the radiance of the glory

First I saw His blessed face,

And forever shall that glory

Be my home, my dwelling-place.
