Thou vision of undying loveliness

I don't know why I haven't posted this one before because its really lovely!

Thou vision of undying loveliness
Once glimpsed cannot by any be outshone
No fragrant morning noon or dappled ev'ning
Compare in any facet with the Son

Beloved Son cherished of the Father
Redeemed Thine own creation with Thy blood
Restoring man belov'd of God the Father
Reviled and placed upon a cross of wood

Now have I seen Thee in the sanctu'ry
O God most high more dear than any one
Resplendent Lord surpassing thought or concept
Receive the sacrifice of Thine own Son

Within these walls of time we live and move
Receding limits as we gaze on Thee
For through the flesh of our imperfect being
There breaketh knowledge of Eternity

So shall I praise Thee love Thee and adore
Till life is through and limits lose their hold
And standing there at last alone before Thee
My praises shall for ever more unfold 
(Written by M Black)



When was the last time you caught a glimpse of Christ in His undying loveliness???
