And is it so?

And is it 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!

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.

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.

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.

The heart is satisfied can ask no more
All thought of self is now forever o'er:
Christ, its un-mingled Object, fills the heart
In blest adoring love-the endless part.

Father of mercies, in Thy presence bright
All this shall be unfolded in the light
Thy children all, with joy Thy counsels know
Fulfilled patient in hope, while here below.
