“All that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel” (Acts 6:1515And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. (Acts 6:15)).
He is accused of blasphemy
Towards Moses and towards God;
The crowds are stirred,
Their voices heard;
Anger pervades the place;
False witnesses are summoned and
They look upon his face.
It seems that words are absent
To scribe the peaceful pose;
“An angel’s face,”
Of fear no trace,
But calm upon his brow;
He knew the One who held the world,
Upheld him even now.
What a wondrous commendation
In conflict and in trial  ...
A peaceful glow,
The world to show —
The calm within the heart;
Oh, may we have that “angel face”
His presence can impart!
