GAZING ON THE LORD IN GLORY
1. Gazing on the
Lord in glory,
While our hearts in
worship bow,
There we read the
wondrous story
Of the cross - its
shame and woe.
2. Every mark of
dark dishonor
Heaped upon the
thorn-crowned brow,
All the depths of
thy heart's sorrow
Told in answ'ring
glory now.
3. On that cross,
alone, forsaken,
Where no pity'ng
eye was found;
Now to God's right
hand exalted,
With Thy praise the
heav'ns resound.
4. Did Thy God e'en
then forsake Thee,
Hide His face from
Thy deep need?
In Thy face, once
marred and smitten,
All His glory now
we read.
5. Gazing on it we
adore Thee,
Blessed, precious,
holy Lord;
Thou, the Lamb,
alone art worthy,
This be earth's and
heav'n's accord.
6. Rise our hearts,
and bless the Father,
Ceaseless song e'en
here begun,
Endless praise and
adoration
To the Father and the Son.
