01.03. Excerpt1 - Thy Glory

Excerpt1 - Thy Glory When Thy Shekinah glory fell, The priests stood still in awe; Nor could the great Apostle tell The glory that he saw When Thou didst lift him to the sky To sights unseen by mortal eye.

When Moses stood with unshod feet And Thy great Presence felt, No trumpeter could call retreat While gazing where Thou dwelt!

He listened, raptured by Thy voice, And strangely did his heart rejoice.

The toilers’ fishing nets were left In answer to Thy call, And worldly men, of sense bereft Before their feet would fall.

Those simple men Thou didst endue With power original to You.

O Lord, we labor in a day When men of faith are few.

Now just a remnant watch and pray.

Again we beg - endue Thy church with apostolic power For true revival in this hour.

Have we the holy channel blocked With unbelief and sin? Have we not asked and sought and knocked To bring the glory in?

How is now Thy Spirit grieved That He withholds the shower That would revival tide bring in And apostolic power? Is Thy blest Holy Word unread? And have we ceased to pray? Have carnal longings in our hearts Brought spiritual decay?

Come, great Physician, come, And circumcise the heart;

Fleshly impediments remove And all Thy might impart.
So let the beauty of the Lord
On Christians be outpoured,
That we forget "our" ministry,
And glorify the Lord.
We hate the boasting flesh
Which often claims Thy name.
Descend, Oh Holy Ghost, descend
With all Thy purging flame!

Life compelling, life that’s telling-
Life of God, eternal life, pour Thyself through me.
