MARVEL NOT THAT CHRIST 1N GLORY
1. Marvel not that
Christ in glory
All my inmost heart
hath won;
Not a star to cheer
my darkness,
But a light beyond
the sun.
All below lies dark
and shadowed,
Nothing here to
claim my heart,
Save the lonely
track of sorrow
Whereof old He
walked apart.
2. Others in the
earthly sunshine
Wearily may journey
on,
I have seen a light
from heaven
Past the brightness
of the sun-
Light that knows no
cloud, no waning,
Light wherein I see
His face,
All His love's
uncounted treasures,
All the riches of
His grace:
3. All the wonders
of His glory,
Deeper wonders of
His love-
How for me He won,
He keepeth
That high standing
all above;
Not a glimpse-the
veil uplifted-
But within the veil
to dwell,
Gazing on His face
forever;
Hearing words
unspeakable.
4. I have seen the
face of Jesus-
Tell me not of
aught beside;
I have heard the
voice of Jesus-
All my soul is
satisfied.
In the radiance of
the glory
First I saw His
blessed face,
And forever shall
that glory
Be my home, my
dwelling-place.
