Hymn #656

A Glory in the Word


Lyrics

Verse 1

A glory in the word we find
When grace restores our sight;
But sin has darkened all the mind,
And veiled the heavenly light,
And veiled the heavenly light.

Verse 2

When God's own Spirit clears our view,
How bright the doctrines shine!
Their holy fruits and sweetness show
The author is divine,
The author is divine.

Verse 3

How blest are we, with open face
To view Thy glory, Lord,
And all Thy image here to trace,
Reflected in Thy word!
Reflected in Thy word!

Verse 4

O teach us, as we look, to grow
In holiness and love.
That we may long to see and know
Thy glorious face above,
Thy glorious face above.
