[Songs in the Night - January 1]
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Psalm 95:6
WHEN once we get a glimpse of the glories of the
divine character through the divine plan, when once
we get a true view with the eyes of our understanding
of him with whom we have to do, as the great heart-searcher
and caretaker of his church, we fall before
him humbled to the dust, realizing that we are imperfect,
that we cannot stand before our Master, that
we are unworthy of his favor and blessing.
But as he
touched John gently, raising him up, so he has spoken
to us comfort, peace, and love, assuring us that we
have not an High Priest that cannot be touched with
a feeling of our infirmities, but on the contrary, One
who is able to sympathize and mercifully to assist, One
who has bought us with his own precious blood, who
has accepted us and will number us as his body members
so long as we abide in him, seeking in our hearts
to know and to do his will. Z'05-169 R3569:6 (Hymn 69)
