73A similar theme is handled in these glowing verses:
Lord, open mine eyes to behold The worth of Thy wondrous decree: Far better than silver and gold, The law of Thy mouth is to me: The fire shall consume all below, But Thou art the same, and Thy plan-- 'Tis life everlasting to know My Saviour as God and as Man. | O wonder of infinite cost! The way that He took in His grace, To rescue a man that was lost, By dying Himself in His place! He conquered the serpent's despite, And stood there alone as my King He leadeth us now in His might-- Let those on the Rock shout and sing. | The Mighty One has overcome, His foes in confusion retire; And Zion is on its way home In terrible chariots of fire; The saints and the angels unite, A white-shining numberless throng, To bear through the realms of the light, To Him the all-conquering song. | |
