Worship at Emmanuel's feet See
in His face what wonders meet Earth is too narrow to express
His worth, His glory, O His grace The whole creation cares But some faint shadows of my
Lord, Nature to make His beauties known. Must mingle colors not her own
Is he compared to wine or bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus
be fed That flesh, that dying blood of thine Is bread of life,
is heavenly wine receives salvation from his healing
leaves. That righteous branch, that fruitful
bough, is David's root and offspring too. Is he Does not Sharon yield
Such fragrance in all her fields? The valleys bless the rich perfume. Is he a vine? His heavenly root Supplies the
boughs with life and fruit. My soul to Christ, the living
vine. Is He ahead? Each member lives and owns the
vital power He gives. The saints below and saints above
joined by His Spirit. Is He a fountain there I bathe,
And heal the plague of sin and death? These waters all my soul
renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too. Is he a fire, he'll
purge my dross But the true gold sustains no loss Like a refiner
shall he sit and tread the reef he proves the rock of ages never
moves yet the sweet streams that from him flow attend us all the
desert through is he aware The way he leads to God The path
is drawn in lines of blood There would I walk with hope and zeal
Till I arrive at Zion's hill Is he a door I'll enter in? Behold the pastures large and
green A paradise divinely fair None but the sheep have freedom
there Is He designed the cornerstone For men to build their heaven
upon? I'll make Him my foundation too,
Nor fear the plots Still to His most holy place
Whene'er I pray, I'll turn my face Is He a star? He breaks the night Piercing
the shades with dawning light I know His glory's from above
Oh, the bright, the morning star Is He a son? His beams are grace His course
is joy and righteousness Nations rejoice when He appears To chase
their clouds and dry their tears. Oh, let me climb those higher
skies where storms and darkness never rise, where He displays
His powers abroad and shines and reigns the incarnate incarnate
God. Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun,
nor stars, nor heaven His full resemblance bears. His beauties we can never trace,
till we behold Him face to face.
