Son Of God, In Heaven We View Thee

Son of God, in heaven we view Thee Of God’s love the Object meet; While, Lord Jesus Christ, ’tis through Thee All our blessing is complete.
As Thy brethren we surround Thee, Firstborn of a heavenly race; He who has with glory crowned Thee Called us to this blessed place.
From the triumph and the glory Of Thy rest in love divine, Comes to us the wondrous story, How God’s purpose made us Thine;
How by dying Thou hast freed us From the man of sin and shame, That, unhindered, Thou might’st lead us Now to know Thy Father’s name.
And responsive to Thy longing, We would now abide in love; Know Thy joy, as those belonging To Thyself in heaven above.— Charles A. Coates (1862-1945)
