61. How Wondrous the Glories That Meet

8s.
by R. Hawker
1
How wondrous the glories that meet
 
In Jesus, and from His face shine,
 
His love is eternal and sweet,
 
’Tis human, ’tis also divine!
2
His glory — not only God’s Son — 
 
In manhood He had His full part — 
 
And the union of both joined in one
 
Form the fountain of love in His heart.
3
The merits and worth of His blood
 
Have freed us from hell and from fear,
 
That we, as the blest sons of God,
 
May make His good pleasure our care.
4
Oh then may this union and love
 
Make us walk in the service of heaven,
 
Mid obedience and suffering to prove
 
That we to the Lamb have been given.
