THE FATHER'S FACE

Brought near to be before the Father’s face
Because of His desire to bring us near
We think of His activities in love
Which clothe us in the worth of Christ His Son,
After He circled us in His embrace,
And gave our hands the ring that speaks of love,
While giving us the liberty of sons
With all the dignity which He desires
That title should imply, and thus respond
In answering activities in love
Until made conscious that the Father’s love
Had made a dwelling place within our hearts
Where it can rest, and we can rest in Him.
