162. What Rich, Eternal Bursts of Praise

8,8,6.
by G.W. Frazer
1
What rich, eternal bursts of praise
 
Shall fill yon courts through endless days,
 
When time shall cease to be!
 
Round and around the notes shall swell,
 
As each redeemed one joins to tell
 
Thy love, so vast and free.
“And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.” (Revelation 10:6)
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:18-19)
2
Each shall the Savior’s likeness bear,
 
A royal crown each brow shall wear,
 
With robes unsullied white.
 
The everlasting song shall be,
 
To Thee, O Lamb of God, to Thee,
 
Mid scenes of purest light.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.” (Revelation 4:4)
“Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.” (Revelation 3:4)
3
Our joy unhindered then with Thee,
 
Our eyes undimmed Thy glory see,
 
Whilst worthy praise we give.
 
Through that eternal, cloudless day,
 
Our burning hearts with rapture say
 
He died that we might live.
“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)
