64--O soul-inspiring story-

O soul-inspiring story-

64

	1.	O soul-inspiring story-
		God's majesty and grace
		In lustrous strokes of glory
		Deep-carved in Jesus' face!
		Hearts rapt in contemplation
		Of Godhead's Image bright,
		Break forth in adoration,
		In wonder and delight!
	2.	There Manhood, all perfection,
		And Godhead-fulness shine;
		God's love and Man's affection,
		The human, the divine;
		A life, a death, transcendent,
		Revealing God as love:
		Here, lowly Man, dependent-
		God over all, above!
	3.	Unsullied blaze of glory!
		O ever-radiant Face!
		Thy rich, unfathomed story
		Transfigures us in grace!
		Made like Thee, soon, completely,
		With love-lit eyes we'll scan
		God's face unveiled so sweetly
		In Thine, Thou Son of man!
