Someday the silver
cord will break,
and I no more
as now shall sing;
but oh, the joy
when I shall wake
within the palace of the king!
And I shall see him
face to face,
and tell the story—
saved by grace!
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.
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
It seemed intended
by the blessed providence of God
that I should be blind
all my life,
and I thank him for the dispensation.
If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow
I would not accept it.
I might not have sung hymns to the
praise of God if I had
been distracted
by the beautiful and
interesting things
about me.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
