Our besotted faculties are dull
to comprehend you by Henry Law. Father of heaven, God of all
grace and love, We thank and adore you for the priceless inheritance
which you have reserved for your children, which is kept in heaven
for us, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. Keep us by your mighty power
unto the full enjoyment of the pleasures at your right hand
forevermore. Oft times have our longing thoughts
gone forth to the eternal day, when we shall see you as you
are, without one cloud of unbelief, without the interruption of one
straying thought, without the downcast look of shame, but when
there shall be one bright blaze of glory for ever. We thank you
that the lapse of another day has brought us one day nearer
to our glorious eternal home. Ofttimes have we panted for fuller
knowledge of you, our God. But we have only seen you through
a glass darkly. Our besotted faculties are dull
to comprehend you. but then we shall see you face
to face and know even as we are known. We look forward to that day when
we take our last breath. We shall knock at heaven's gate
in the name of Jesus. We shall present ourselves washed
from earth's every stain in his all-cleansing blood. we shall
draw near to your majestic throne, screened entirely in Jesus, the
Lord our righteousness.
