Marvel not that Christ in glory

286
					8.7.8.7.D.

1	Marvel not that Christ in glory
	All my inmost heart hath won;
	Not a start to cheer my darkness,
	But a light beyond the sun.
	All below lies dark and shadowed,
	Nothing there to claim my heart,
	Save the lonely track of sorrow
	Where of old He walked apart.

2	I have seen the Face of Jesus,
	Tell me not of aught beside;
	I have heard the voice of Jesus-
	All my soul is satisfied.
	In the radiance of the glory
	First I saw His blessed Face,
	And for ever shall that glory
	Be my home, my dwelling-place.

3	Sinners, it was not to Angels
	All this woundrous love was given,
	But to one who scorned, despised Him,
	Scorned and hated Christ in heaven.
	From the lowest depths of darkness
	To the throne in heaven on high,
	Thus in me He told the measure
	Of His love’s great mystery.
