HIS GLORY

What glory, Lord, was Thine

Before the worlds began:

Ineffable, divine,

Beyond the mind of man.

We bow to Thy divinity,

Both from and to eternity.

What glory has been seen

In Thy descending grace,

Thy lowly mind and mien

That took a bondman's place.

Through Thy down-stooping Thou didst show

Thy moral glory here below.

Upon the cross of shame

What glory was displayed!

Though haters scorned Thy Name,

Though lovers were dismayed:

When Thou, O Lord, wast crucified

The Son of Man was glorified.

We see Thy glory shine

As at the greatest height:

The Father made it Thine

For Thou art His delight

And now the Spirit's power is known

Since Thou art on the Father's throne.

What glory Thou dost give

To those Thou hast acquired,

Who in Thee newly live,

And whom Thou hast desired

To be with Thee that they may see

The glory God has given Thee.

And can I ask you for prayers for my mother, now aged 91, and getting weaker: and looking for the lord to take her to be with Him?
