61. How Shall I Meet My Saviour?

1 How shall I meet my Savior?
How shall I truly welcome Thee?
What manner of behavior
Is by Thy love required of me?
I wait for Thy salvation;
Grant me, O Lord, Thy Spirit’s light;
And my preparation
Be well accepted in Thy sight.

2 While with her sweetest flowers
Thy waiting Zion strews Thy way,
I’ll raise with all my powers,
Savior, to Thee a grateful lay;
To Thee, the King of glory,
My heart will tune a song divine
And make Thy love’s bright story
Through me in living witness shine.
