FRIDAY February 21st
Well as I conclude this series I also have to say, as in the quote from the previous devotion, ‘Oh I wish I could describe him to you.’ I have made an effort to share something about our wonderful Lord and Saviour, and my heart’s desire is that each one who has read these devotions and contemplated along with me all about Jesus that we have come to love him more dearly and allowed the sweetness of who he is to fill our breast.
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
Jesus, our only Joy be Thou,
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity.
I am going to conclude this series with the words of a hymn:
Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King!
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
Word incarnate, truth revealing,
Son of Man on earth!
power and majesty concealing
by your humble birth:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
Suffering servant, scorned, ill – treated,
victim crucified!
death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
Priestly king, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
So, our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long,
ceaselessly upon you gazing,
this shall be our song:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
Psalm 104:34
‘My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.’ (KJV)
Devotions will resume with a new theme on Monday March 3rd.
