106. O Lord! 'Tis Joy to Look Above

C.M.
by J.G. Deck
1
O Lord! ’tis joy to look above,
 
And see Thee on the throne,
 
To search the heights and depths of love
 
Which Thou to us hast shown.
2
To look beyond the long, dark night,
 
And hail the coming day,
 
When Thou, to all Thy saints in light,
 
Thy glories wilt display.
3
And, oh! ’tis joy the path to trace
 
By Thee so meekly trod;
 
Learning of Thee to walk in grace,
 
And fellowship with God!
4
Joy to confess Thy blessèd name,
 
The virtue of Thy blood,
 
And to the wearied heart proclaim,
 
Behold the Lamb of God!
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” (John 6:53-56)
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
“And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36)
