"The Glory of God In The Face of Jesus Christ" Jesus, Thou glorious Son of God, Our Life eternal and our Lord, Gladly we gaze upon Thy face, Its beauty and its glory trace. When in ruin, chaos and sin, By darkness and by gloom hemmed in, Thy voice we heard, the Living Word, And now we live to Thee, our Lord. What led Thee, Lord, so great, so holy, To take that place, made sin, so lowly? Oh, 'twas that we might be with Thee, From sin and all defilement free. 'Twas love, 'twas love, that led Thee there, That we in righteousness might share Thy Father's love-- be heirs with Thee, Joint-heirs through all eternity. While gather'd to Thy name, Lord, here, Thyself our hearts and minds doth cheer; And nought amongst the things of time, Can gladden hearts by grace made Thine. Jesus, Thou glorious Son of God, Our portion now, our sure Reward; All that we need we find in Thee, And ever Thou our all wilt be. We praise Thee, and shall ever praise, As on Thy glorious face we gaze: Grace and glory there we see, And gazing are transformed to Thee. ~(E.S.) Taken from "Words of Faith" Periodical Volume 6, year 1883 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Little Note from Cobblestone Road Ministries: What a beautiful poem! It says it all! All that we need is found in Christ Jesus alone! Our hearts are occupied with His presence. Our minds are stayed upon Him! Things in this world will never get better but we, who know the Lord, shall ever look to Him-- from Whom all blessings flow! He is the center of our joy and He is our peace in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation! His love fills our hearts. We have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ-- the Son of the Living God-- He is our Reward! And as we look to Him, we find all that we need to move forward on this pilgrim journey. We gaze upon Him with spiritual eyes but someday we shall see Him face to face! He is our Savior and we shall ever be with Him throughout all eternity. Let us keep our gaze upon Him! Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
