We know, by faith we know
1
We know, by faith we know,If this vile house of clay,This tabernacle, sink below,In ruinous decay—
2
We have a house above,Not made with mortal hands;And firm as our Redeemer's loveThat heavenly fabric stands.
3
Full of immortal hope,We urge the restless strife,And hasten to be swallowed upOf everlasting life.
4
Lord, let us put on theeIn perfect holiness,And rise prepared thy face to see—Thy bright, unclouded face.
5
Thy grace with glory crown,Who hast the earnest given;And then triumphantly come down,And take us up to heaven.
