S.M.
by M. Bowley

"One spirit with the Lord";
 
Oh blessèd, wondrous word!
 
What heavenly light, what power divine,
 
Doth that sweet word afford!
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)

"One spirit with the Lord";
 
Jesus, the glorified,
 
Esteems the church for which He bled,
 
His body and His bride.
“The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.” (Acts 3:13)

And though by storms assailed,
 
And though by trials pressed,
 
Himself our life, He bears us up
 
Right onward to the rest.
“But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.” (Matthew 14:24)

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” (Hebrews 4:9)

There we shall drink the stream
 
Of endless bliss above:
 
There we shall know, without a cloud,
 
His full, unbounded love.
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” (Revelation 21:6)
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
