Chapter_166

O ye who seek the Lord,

Lift up your eyes on high,

For there He doth the Sign accord

Of His bright majesty.

We see a dazzling sight

That shall outlive all time,

Older than depth or starry height,

Limitless and sublime.

’Tis He for Israel’s fold

And heathen tribes decreed,

The King to Abraham pledged of old

And his unfailing seed.

Prophets foretold His birth,

And witness’d when He came,

The Father speaks to all the earth

To hear, and own His name.

To Jesus, who displays

To babes His beaming face,

Be, with the Father, endless praise,

And with the Spirit of grace. Amen.
