Hymn 302 — Gazing on thee, Lord, in glory,
| 302 | MISS C. THOMPSON (1822-1909) | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
Gazing on thee, Lord, in glory, While our hearts in worship bow, There we read the wondrous story Of the cross, its shame and woe. | |
| 2 |
Every mark of dark dishonour Heaped upon the thorn-crowned brow, All the depths of Thy heart's sorrow Told in answ'ring glory now. | |
| 3 |
On that cross alone, forsaken, Where no pitying eye was found; Now to God's right hand exalted, With Thy praise the heav'ns resound. | |
| 4 |
Did Thy God e'en then forsake Thee, Hide His face from Thy deep need! In Thy face, once marred and smitten, All His glory now we read. | |
| 5 |
Gazing on it we adore Thee, Blessed, precious, holy Lord! Thou, the Lamb, art ever worthy! This be earth's and heav'n's accord. | |
