And it is so! I shall be like Thy Son?

|
| 1. | And it is so! I shall be like Thy Son? |
| | Is this the grace which He for me has |
| | won? |
| | Father of glory-thought beyond all |
| | thought!- |
| | In glory, to His own blest likeness |
| | brought! |
| 2. | Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to |
| | Thee? |
| | Fruit of Thy work, with Thee, too, |
| | there to see |
| | Thy glory, Lord, while endless ages |
| | roll, |
| | Myself the prize and travail of Thy |
| | soul. |
| 3. | Yet it must be: Thy love had not its rest |
| | Were Thy redeemed not with Thee |
| | fully blest; |
| | That love that gives not as the world, |
| | but shares |
| | All it possesses with its loved co-heirs. |
| 4. | Nor I alone; Thy loved ones, all |
| | complete |
| | In glory, round Thee there with joy |
| | shall meet; |
| | All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, |
| | Lord, |
| | Object supreme of all, by all adored. |
