Tiiisbb^b a Man in tm glory I know very well, I/have knawn Him for years, and His goodn ss / can tell ; I 'One d»y in His mercyjHe knocked at my doo", And 8- eking admission, knocked many times o'er, I But wlun I went to Him, and stood face to iace, 1 And listened awhile t© His story of grace, H >w He suffered for sinners, and put way'sin, I hennily, thankfully, welcomed Him in ; " We h ive lived on tog< tber a number of years, And that's why I ha re neither doabtings or f c irs, For my das are all h d in the deptl.a of the sea, They were carried do? n there by the Man on the tree. I am often surprise< why the lips should be curled, When I epeak of the Lord to the man of the world, 1 And notice with sorrow his look of disdain, Whei I tel him thatuesus is coming again. He seems so content vjith his houses and gold. While despising theajk, like the people of old, And yet^ll s enninp I'm sure he wonld flea, Like the rn\t in the garden, who ate of the tree. I cannot Imtthink It is foolish of souls To put all thefc mon|y in " bags which have holes," X To find, in the day^tbat is coming apace, How lightly they votl sd the " riches of grace." As fond as I am of H \^ork ia the fie'd, I would leave go the] loWh, I would lay down the shield : The weapons of serv cc I TKould put oa the shelf, Aivi the sword in the scabbaid, to be with Hims' If. \ But I'll work on with] pleasure, wlrlle keeping my eyes On the end of the field where staadeth the prize. I would work for His flor", that when we shall mett, I may have a 1 irge si eaf to lay down at His feet; That lie, too, with »lea«ure His fruit may review — Is the Man in the glor a stranger to you ? A stranger to Jesus? what I d> you not know He is washing poor si iners mu:h whiter than snow ? Have you lived In a ]md where the Bible's unknown, That you don't know he Man who is now on the throne ? I Ah, did you but know! half His beauty and power, I You would not be a Itranger another halfhour. I I have known Him to long tint I'm able co say, I The vfry worst sinned He'll not turn away. The question of sin I kdorioglv see The Man in the glory Bas settled for me ! And as to ray iootstepl, whatever the scene, 1 he Man in the glory ia keeping me clean; And therefore I'm singing, from morning to night, . ' I , ' ' The Man in the glory ia all my delight. I wake in the morningfwith thoughts of His love I Who is living for me il the glory arove, i Ev'ry minute expettiulr he'il en eh me away, And that keeps me bright all the rest of the day; J But the moments speed forward, and on conies the noon, I Yet Btill I am singiag, "He'll come very soon : " j ' And thus lam watcljing from morning to night, I : And pluming my winds to be ready for flight! 645—1 .
