BLESSINGS

It is a great thing for the soul

To know that it is known of Christ;

For He has given it a role

From which it cannot be enticed

It knows a shepherd’s love will keep

It safe from danger as His sheep.

Discovered by the Spirit’s light

The soul will also find it great

To be not only clear and bright

But usable to circulate,

Reflecting, through abundant grace,

The glories of the Master’s face!

How great that, after God’s embrace,

It knows that He is glad to bring

It into an eternal place,

Wearing the sandals, robe and ring:

It glorifies the God who runs

To welcome souls, and call them sons.
