16. Many Sons to Glory Bringing

8,7.
by M. Bowley
1
Many sons to glory bringing,
 
God sets forth His heavenly name;
 
On we march in chorus singing,
 
"Worthy the ascended Lamb!"
“For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:10)
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
2
God who gave the blood to screen us,
 
God looks down in perfect love;
 
Clouds may seem to pass between us,
 
There’s no change in Him above.
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:13)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)
“The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” (Nahum 1:3)
“For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” (Malachi 3:6)
3
Though the restless foe accuses,
 
Sins recounting like a flood;
 
Every charge our God refuses:
 
Christ has answered with His blood.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” (Revelation 12:10)
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.” (Romans 8:33)
4
In the refuge God provided,
 
Though the world’s destruction lowers,
 
We are safe — to Christ confided,
 
Everlasting life is ours.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24)
5
And ere long, when come to glory,
 
We shall sing a well-known strain,
 
This the never-tiring story,
 
"Worthy is the Lamb once slain!"
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12)
