Well, good evening, everyone. If you would open your Bibles with me to Psalm 4 to open our service. And let me tell you, I have never been as glad that a vacation is over and we are home after this last one. Hopefully that will never be repeated. In case you don't know, this trip involved a trip to the to the ER for me and Janet, and no trips to the beach. So, one of those things. But I'm certainly glad to be home and see y'all. Psalm 4. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress. Have mercy upon me and hear my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love vanity and seek after leasing? But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for himself. The Lord will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord. There'll be many that say, who will show us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou has put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace and sleep for thou Lord only make us meet well in safety. All right, Sean. Okay, if you would, turn in your hymnal to song number 475. We'll sing Redeemed. 475. Redeemed how I love to proclaim it. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am. Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. Redeemed and so happy in Jesus, no language my rapture can tell. I know that the light of His presence with me doth continually dwell. Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. I think of my blessed Redeemer. I think of Him all the day long. I sing for I cannot be silent. His love is the theme of my song. Redeemed, redeemed. redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. I know I shall see in His beauty the King in whose law I delight, who lovingly guardeth my footsteps and giveth me songs in the night. Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. OK, if you would now turn to song number 334, Be Thou My Vision. Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, not be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best thought by day or by night. Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word. I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord, Thou my great Father, I Thy true Son. Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine inheritance now and always. Thou and Thou only, first in my heart. High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, my victory won. May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun. Heart of my own heart, whatever befall. Still be my vision, O ruler of all. Let's open our Bibles now to Exodus chapter 27. Exodus chapter 27, we'll begin reading in verse nine. And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side southward, there should be hangings for the court of fine twine linen. of 100 cubits long for one side, and the 20 pillars thereof and their 20 sockets shall be of brass, and the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. And likewise for the north side in length, there shall be hangings of 100 cubits long and his 20 pillars and their 20 sockets of brass, the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of 50 cubits, their pillars 10 and their sockets 10. And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be 50 cubits. The hangings of one side of the gate shall be 15 cubits, their pillars 3 and their sockets 3. And on the other side shall be hangings 15 cubits, their pillars 3 and their sockets 3. And the gate of the court shall be and hanging of 20 cubits of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twine linen wrought with needlework. And their pillars shall be four and their sockets four. And the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver. Their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of brass. The length of the court shall be 100 cubits and the breadth thereof 50, everywhere, and the height five cubits of fine twine linen and their sockets of brass. And all the vessels of the tabernacle, and the service thereof, and all the pens thereof, and all the pens of the court, shall be of brass. And we'll end our reading there. Let's bow before our Lord together. Our Father, we humbly bow. We bow before your throne of grace. Thankful that we do not have to come before your throne of justice. For there's nothing we've ever done that has satisfied your holy justice, your righteous demands. But Father, in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, we're so thankful to be able to come before a throne of grace. Grace because of who the Lord Jesus Christ is and because of how he put away the sin of your people with his precious blood. And Father, we have no other plea before you. but grace, grace and mercy. We have no plea, but our Lord Jesus Christ and father, we beg that you would see us in him, that you would hear us in him, that, that she would accept us in him and him alone. And that tonight the name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified and magnified. Let his fame father go forth in power from this pulpit. that the hearts of your people would be thrilled at trusting the Lord Jesus Christ, at trusting him to be all of our righteousness without any of our good works added to it, that all of our righteousness is Christ and Christ alone. Father, let us let that calm our minds and thrill our hearts at trusting the Lord our righteousness. Father, bless us as we attempt to worship. Without Thee, we can do nothing. No man can preach, no man or woman can hear and believe and understand apart from Thy Spirit. Send Thy Spirit upon us, Father, and give us, we beg of Thee, an hour of true worship. And what we ask for ourselves, Father, we ask for Your people. Everywhere that they're gathered together tonight, Father, bless for Your great namesake. And Father, we thank you. How we thank you for all the heaps and heaps and heaps of blessings that you've so freely bestowed upon us. You've given us everything that you require in our Lord Jesus Christ. And on top of that, you've given us all these material blessings, homes and families and roofs over our heads, food to eat. Father, we're so thankful and ask that you would Give us both the grace and the wisdom to use all these many gifts that you've given to us wisely and generously. And Father, we dare not forget those that you've seen fit to bring into the time of trouble and trial. As is always the case, there are many, but there are no case too hard for thee, no great numbers of need that make it too difficult for thee. Father, we hold them up to Thee and pray that You'd give them grace that's sufficient for the hour, that You'd heal and comfort and deliver according to Your will and Your eternal purpose. And Father, all these things we ask and we give thanks in that great name that's above every name, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. I've titled the message this evening, The Two-Fold Message of the Fence. There's one message that we see as we stand outside of the tabernacle courtyard and see the outside of the fence. And there's another message when we go inside the tabernacle fence and see the fence from the inside. There's a totally different message. So first the message from the outside of just looking at this fence from the outside as you're in the camp of Israel. The outside of the fence says, no man, has what it takes, is qualified to come into the presence of God. You know, the people dwelt out here, and God dwelt inside there, and that fence marked a clear line. No man is qualified to come directly into the presence of God. This white fence separated the people from God, and it stood in stark contrast, the people, all the camps, You know, dwelt the tabernacles in the center of the camp, and all the tribes are camped all around the outside of the tabernacle. And there's a stark contrast. You know, they say that the tents of the people were made of, like, dark goat's hair. They were dark and rough, and all these dark black spots all around. And then there's this white fence in the middle of it that just stands in stark contrast to all this blackness that's going on around us. And that just, the holiness of God makes the, in contrast, the blackness of our sin stand out even more. And the blackness of our sin makes the white glory of God's holiness to stand out even more. And this fence is telling us no man has the righteousness that qualifies him to come into the presence of God. Scripture sees even our best works of righteousness, those things that we've done that we think would make God the happiest with us. God says they're filthy rags. They're an abomination to me. God will not accept them. Now this court fence was 150 by 75 feet, seven and a half feet tall. It was solid white, solid white linen, a picture of perfect righteousness. And it was spotless. You could walk all the way around this fence and looking at it from the outside, there's no holes in it. There's no blemishes in it. There's no tears in it. There's no spots that are kind of torn and you could crawl under. There are no spots that are lowered a little bit that you could jump over it. It's perfect. But this righteousness, this fence that pictures righteousness, It's not the righteousness of God. It's not the righteousness of God's character. It's the righteousness that God requires of a man to be able to enter into his presence. See, this fence is a picture of the righteousness of Christ Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, the God man. They made this fence out of fine twine linen. And the way you get linen is flax. that's grown from the ground and they separate out the fibers and make this fine twine linen. It's something that grows from the earth. That's Jesus of Nazareth. He was a real man. Scripture calls him a root out of a dry ground, the stem of Jesse, the rod of Jesse. The Lord Jesus Christ is a real man, but he's also God. He's the God man. And since he's God, he could obey God's law perfectly. And he did. His righteousness was perfect. There were no holes in it. There were no imperfections in it. He wasn't even acquainted with any sin. His righteousness is perfect. And his obedience stands in contrast to our disobedience, doesn't it? The whiteness of his righteousness stands in contrast to the blackness of our sin. And this fence is telling us what the Father says you cannot Come into my presence unless you are as righteous as my son. There's no loopholes to this thing. There's no way I'll ignore your sin. You must be as righteous as my son. And this fence shows us something about the righteousness of Christ. It's eternal. It's strong. It's immovable. The fence was held up by 60 pillars. And it sounds like those pillars were made out of solid brass, didn't it? The sockets were made out of solid brass, showing us the strength, the deity of Christ. The brass pictures the deity of Christ. That's what held up this fence. That's what holds up this righteousness. It's his deity. In the body of a man, a man produced, the righteousness of God. He obeyed God's law perfectly. Now, it's righteousness that a man earned, but it's all held up. The strength of it comes from this brass, the deity of Christ. Brass is known for its strength. And isn't that Christ our Savior? He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. Can you think of one time you've ever been tempted that you've passed the test? Not one, we're just weak as, I don't know, whatever you think, water, you know, just runs, we're so weak. The strength of Christ enabled him to stand up to every test without sin. And when it came time for him to be made sin for his people, He withstood the fire of God's wrath that was poured out upon him. And the Father's wrath was poured out and poured out and poured out upon him. But Christ was not destroyed. No, he's like that brass that stood up to the fire. It wasn't destroyed. Instead of the fire destroying the sacrifice, Christ our sacrifice in his death, he made an end of sin. He destroyed the sin of his people. so that it does not exist. He destroyed death. He took the sting of death away so that when every single time a believer lays down to die, it's victory, not defeat. He took the sting away. He put Satan out of business. He put hell out of business for his people. He destroyed all those things for his people. And that's a righteousness that can never be undone. That's what this brass is so strong. It can never be undone. And I've never been out in the desert, but I've been driven through the American desert, but I just think being out in the middle of the desert that they're going through here, it's known for strong storms and wind and all these things. You know, one thing we never read of in scripture, the fence blowing over. Not one time do you ever read of that. This is the message outside of the fence now. You can't get around God's holiness. It's not going to one day just blow over and let you walk in. There's no getting around God's righteous, holy demands. And I'll tell you what else gave these pillars strength. The tops of them were silver. Remember, silver is a picture of redemption. Remember, the silver that they got to use for the building of the tabernacle, it came from the redemption money. When they counted the people, everybody gave half a shekel. The rich shall not give more, the poor shall not give less than half a shekel. This silver is a picture of redemption that's in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ paid the redemption price for his people. He paid the price that's on the head of His people with His own precious, sinless blood. That blood enables our Savior to satisfy both the Father and us, and His people. His blood satisfies the Father. So the Father says, it's enough. I'm reconciled. I'm not angry anymore. The blood of Christ took away that sin that made me angry. And when the blood of Christ is applied to our hearts, we surrender, don't we? We're reconciled because of the blood of Christ. It's his redemption that gives this righteousness strength. It'll never fail. And then there's cords and pins. I don't know if you can see it from where you are, but there's cords that run through the silver down here and they're held to the ground. by these long brass pins that are driven into the ground. Well, again, the strength, everything that's holding up this fence, it's the God-man. The linen, grown from the ground, is a picture of Christ the man, and the brass, the deity of Christ, the God-man. But in order to establish righteousness for his people, Christ had to come to earth. He had to come to earth as a man, And he set himself, just like they drove those pins deep into the ground, Christ set himself in the earth. He set himself to do everything that the Father sent him to do. He set himself to redeem his people from their sin and make them righteous. And the cords held everything together. See, the pins and the cords, they have to go together, don't they? And this is a picture of the person and work of Christ. You have to have both. If you just had the cords, but they weren't tied to the pins driven in the ground, they're just flapping in the wind, not holding anything down. But you put the two of them together, the pins and the cords, you put them together, now you've got strength that'll help holding up these pillars so that that fence can never fall down. That's the person and work of Christ. We must have both. We must have his perfect person. He must come as a man. He must come as a man, not for his own self, not to establish righteousness for himself. He's already righteous. He must come and perform the work of righteousness for you and me. And that's what he came and he performed that. He worked out a perfect obedience and then he suffered and died. He traded our sin for his righteousness and put that, the sin of his people away. And if he doesn't do both, if he doesn't live a perfect life, if he doesn't die the death of the substitute and rise again, there's no salvation. So we have to have both the person and the work of Christ. And so the message of the outside of the fence says, Sinful man cannot enter into God's presence. We're not as righteous as Christ. We can't produce what God demands. I can see his perfection. From the outside of this fence, I can see something of the perfection of Christ, something I'm not. I see the contrast. But from the outside of the fence, all I see is that keeping me away from God because I'm not what God requires, okay? Got that? That's the outside of the fence. And if you walked all along this fence, you started way over there, you walked all the way down through here, all the way down through here, all the way down through here, and you turned the corner and you started walking, and you're thinking, there's no, there's no hope for me. There's no hope. Until you come to the gate. There's a gate that the Lord put here. The Lord's offering some hope to his people in this gate. The gate is described in verse 16. He says, And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of 20 cupids, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twine linen, wrought with needlework. And their pillars shall be four, and their sockets shall be four. When you see this gate, we get a hint. God has not shut himself off. from mankind. He could shut himself off from me, and in justice he could, in justice he should, shouldn't he? But in grace, in mercy, in pity, he didn't do it. God's provided a way inside the fence, inside this holy requirement. Now there's just one way. There's just one way. The Lord Jesus Christ. If somebody wanted to know, how do I get inside the courtyard of this tabernacle. The way was clearly marked, wasn't it? It stood out in contrast to the solid white. The way was clearly marked. This must be the way into the courtyard. God has provided one way to come into his presence. Not just one, but it's a way. And the way's not hidden. He's clearly marked all through scripture. The way is the Lord Jesus Christ. This gate represents Christ the way. Remember when he said, I'm the way, the truth, and the life? He's the way to God. He's the way of righteousness. He's the way of salvation. He's the way to forgiveness. He's the way of eternal life. I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh to the Father. but by me, but by me. There is a way to come, come to God, but it's only in Christ. You know, scripture calls Christ the narrow way, the narrow way. Well, in relation to the, all the other lengths of, you know, of the court, I guess you could say that this gate, you know, it's kind of narrow. It's narrow in the sense that it's the only gate. It's the only door. There's just one, but listen, It's 30 feet wide. It's 30 feet wide. Plenty of room for all of us to go through it to come into the presence of God, isn't there? And oh, it was so colorful and beautiful. It was filled with those colors that we're becoming so familiar with as the color of blue, the color of the sky. This gate is a man. It's God from heaven. God from heaven. Let's never forget this. The Lord Jesus Christ is God. Jesus is not my buddy. He's not my pal. He's not my co-pilot. He's God Almighty. He's the sovereign savior who saves whom he will, when he will. He's the life giver that gives life to whoever he will. He's gracious to who he will be gracious. He's merciful to whom he will be merciful. It's all up to him. Salvation is all up to his choice and his prerogative. He's the sovereign savior. And he came down from heaven to give this salvation to his people. Then there's the color purple. Purple is the color of royalty. This one who's coming is king. King of kings. He's lord of lords. He's the light of heaven. He's the glory of heaven. Heaven is just another place without Christ. But when he's there, he's the glory of it. And here's the thing about the king. He doesn't have to save us. Now he could if he wills. He doesn't have to. But this gate tells us the king is coming to save somebody. He's coming to save somebody. Tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna beg him to save me. He's coming to save somebody. And then there's scarlet. It's the color of blood. And it's not just any blood now. This is the blood of the God-man. The God-man. It's blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. The only way you and I could ever enter into God's presence is by being washed in the blood of Christ. And you remember where they got the red to make these red threads. It was from a scarlet worm that affixed itself to the wood, and then when it died, the red dye ran down. That's where they collected this red. It's the red when Christ affixed himself to the cross. It wasn't nails that held him there. It wasn't fear that held him there, like, of all, if I come down, they'll just put me back up there. They said, come down from the cross now. We'll believe you. Oh, he had the power to do it. but he had affixed himself to the cross to suffer and die there so that his blood would pay the sin debt of all of his people. This red blood was shed willingly. Look over it to Psalm 22. Here's the time that this worm is referred to Psalm 22 verse six. But I am a worm and no man. A reproach of men and despised of the people. That word worm there, that's the scarlet worm. He said, I'm a worm. He just couldn't think of a lower way to describe himself when he'd been made sin for his people. And just like that scarlet worm was crushed, our savior was crushed for the sin of his people. But then we'll go back to the purple for just one second. Purple is a mixture of blue and scarlet. Blue from heaven, scarlet the color of blood. This purple also represents Christ the God-man. Two natures in one body. Two natures in one man. As Brother Richardson said, he's as much God as if he were not man. As much man as if he were not God, And that's the theme of all the tabernacle. It's the God-man who's coming. All these things in the tabernacle, they're two elements to make one piece of furniture. The God-man is coming. And then, of course, all this was sewn in to the linen, the humanity of Christ. There is a man coming from heaven who is God. He's king of kings, he's lord of lords, He has blood to shed to atone for the sin of His people and to make them holy. And He is the only way into God's presence. Now here's the thing about the gate. If it's gonna do you any good, if you're gonna go inside and see what's in the courtyard, you have to enter. You have to enter the gate. You can't stand outside the gate and admire how beautiful it is. I mean, we just, you know, put these colors in here so we could kind of see what colors were represented in the gate. This thing was a work of art. I mean, the Lord gave women some special skill to be able to do all this needlework. I mean, this thing was gorgeous. And you can't stand outside of it and admire how beautiful it is. You can't stand outside of it and look at it and say, you know, I know something about how those women made this thing, how they did it with their needle and thread and how they were so cunning and doing all this thing to put all this together. I know how they did that. Won't do you any good unless you enter in. You can't look at the gate and say, you know, I know other people that have entered in and they went in and saw what's in that courtyard. If this gate's gonna do you and me any good, we've got to enter in. Now remember, this gate's a picture of Christ. Let me tell you one more time. Come to Christ. Come to Christ. You can't just sit and listen to the gospel and read the scripture and read commentaries and do all these different things and admire how beautiful the Lord Jesus Christ is. I mean, he's amazing. I mean, it's absolutely, utterly amazing. But you can't just look at how amazing he is and how wonderful he is. That's not salvation. You must enter in. You've got to enter into Christ. You can't just know a lot of facts about Christ, just like knowing how these women worked their needles and made this gorgeous tapestry, you know. It's not just knowing facts about Christ and all these little doctrinal tidbits that nobody else can even understand if you do try to explain it to him. Salvation is not knowledge. We cannot educate ourselves into salvation. Salvation is coming to Christ. It's union with Christ. It's believing Him. You can't even just enjoy hearing some things about Christ. We must believe him. Salvation is entering in to Christ. And Christ entering into you. That vital union with Christ. And once you enter Christ, once you enter in by the gate, you're gonna see the second message of this fence. Now you're gonna see the message of the fence from the inside. And oh, that's a glorious message. Once you enter in by Christ, and you enter into the courtyard, and you look around, everywhere you see you're surrounded by white. You're surrounded by this white fence. You're surrounded by the righteousness of Christ. Now that's just a picture. But once you enter into Christ, and entering into Christ, and coming to Christ, It's simply believing Him. That's all it is. It's believing that He is who He says He is. It's believing and trusting your soul to Him and to Him alone. And I'm not giving you work to do. I'm not telling you you have to come up with this faith on your own. If you do, God will save you. No, faith is the gift of God. If you don't believe Christ, but you want to, tell you what to do. Ask God to give you faith. It's a gift, it's his to give, isn't it? Ask him to give you faith. And once he does, once you enter into Christ, you're immersed in his righteousness so that you are righteous. You are righteous. And everything that was outside of the fence that was true, that kept you from coming into God's presence, it's true, can I say in the reverse? On the inside of the fence, on the inside of the fence, you walk that fence and you look at it and you examine it closely. It's perfect. It's perfect. It's without spot. It's without blemish. There's no way you can accidentally fall through it and fall back outside. It's perfect. That's what you are in Christ. Perfect. Without spot. without blemish. That's what Christ has made all of his people and he's made them righteous. He made them righteous so they can never be unrighteous again. Adam, I don't like to say that Adam had a righteousness because he wasn't righteous. He was innocent, wasn't he? But he wasn't righteous. He had an innocence that he could lose and he did. In Christ, He has made his people righteous, and you can never lose it. You can never mar it. You can never be unrighteous again. Because everything that gave the fence the strength on the outside to keep you from busting through unlawfully also is going to keep you in. All these pillars and sockets of brass, they're there just as strong as ever. But now they're keeping you from falling away from Christ. The cords and the pins that are nailed down to the earth, they're keeping you from leaving Christ so that you can't fall away, so that you can't leave Him. It's those cords, the cords of love, that have drawn you to Christ. And now you're in Him and you can never leave Him again. He's made you perfectly righteous and you can You can never be unrighteous again. You can never not be accepted again. Because when God looks at you, all He sees is Christ. He sees you as righteous in Christ. But it's your righteousness. It's your righteousness. It's yours because God gave it to you. He gave it to you. That's what 2 Corinthians 5, 21 is all about. Christ has made His people righteous through redemption. He had made him sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. By one man's disobedience, many were made sinners. All of Adam's race were made sinners. By the obedience of one, shall many be made righteous. All of God's elect, they're all made righteous, and they can never lose it. And once you're in Christ, once you're inside this fence, you're safe. You're protected from every wind that blows, from every storm, from every attack, from all those black tents scattered all around. You're safe. You're protected so that you can never be marred again, so that you can never be taken away from God again. That's a two-fold message of the fence. And if God saved you, you've heard both messages. You've heard both messages. I've been there where the only message that I heard is stay away. You can't come. I've heard that. I spent years hearing that message. and wishing I could believe Christ. Wishing that I knew Him. That's pretty miserable, isn't it? But you know what? There's no denying it. You're right. I'm sinful. I mean, I'm rotten. I mean, I wouldn't let me in either. But what good news when God the Holy Spirit finally lets you see the beauty of the Lord Jesus Christ and causes you to run to Him. Oh, you run to Him. And then everything's different. Everything's different. All of the gospel that you used to hear as bad news telling me, you know, how sinful I am, how hopeless I am, how rotten I am, how dead I am. Oh, now it's beautiful. It's beautiful. Yes, I'm dead in Adam, but I'm alive in Christ. Yes, I'm unrighteous in Adam. I'm a sinner in and of myself. I mean, you've never met a more natural born sinner than this fella. But in Christ, I'm righteous. I mean, I'm lost. I mean, you can't find a sheep more lost than I am. But in Christ, I'm found and I can never be lost again. I'll never be able to wander away from him. I'll never be seen. outside of Christ again. Thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ that we hear the message, the good news of the inside of the fence. Come to Christ and rest. Come to him and rest. All right. Well, I hope that'll be a blessing to you. Let's bow together. Our Father, how we thank you for the message of this white fence that declares who you are that declares your holy, righteous demands, demands that we cannot meet. But oh, how we thank you for the message of Christ, that he has done everything we can't do, that he has satisfied your every demand, that he has put away the sin of your people and made us completely righteous and accepted in him. Father, how we thank you. There's not human language to express it. Oh, how we thank you. And Father, I pray that you would take your word and that you'd apply it to our hearts that we leave here tonight believing in, resting in, hoping in Christ and Christ alone. For his blessed name, we pray and give thanks. Amen. All right. Okay, if you would, turn in your hymnal to song number 385 and stand as we sing, Take the World, But Give Me Jesus. 385. Take the world, but give me Jesus, all its joys are but a name. But His love abideth ever, through eternal years the same. O the height and depth of mercy, O the length and breadth of love, O the fullness of redemption, pledge of endless life above. Take the world, but give me Jesus, sweetest comfort of my soul. With my Savior watching o'er me, I can sing though billows roll. O the height and depth of mercy, O the length and breadth of love, O the fullness of redemption, pledge of endless life above. Take the world, but give me Jesus. Let me view His constant smile. Then throughout my pilgrim journey, light will cheer me all the while. O the height and depth of mercy, O the length and breadth of love, O the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above, Take the world, but give me Jesus In His cross my trust shall be Till with clearer, brighter vision Face to face my Lord I see O the height and depth of mercy, O the length and breadth of love, O the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above.
