      1 WHAT now is my object and aim?
      What now is my hope and desire?
      To follow the heavenly Lamb,
      And after his image aspire;
      My hope is all centred in thee,
      I trust to recover thy love,
      On earth thy salvation to see,
      And then to enjoy it above.

      2 I thirst for a life-giving God,
      A God that on Calvary died;
      A fountain of water and blood,
      Which gushed from Immanuel's side!
      I gasp for the stream of thy love,
      The spirit of rapture unknown,
      And then to re-drink it above,
      Eternally fresh from the throne.
