THE MAN IN THE GLORY

Geo. Cutting

“The man Christ Jesus”—1 Timothy 2: 5

I wake in the morning with thoughts of His love,

Who is living for me in the glory above,

Ev’ry minute expecting He’ll call me away,

And that keeps me bright all the rest of the day!

 

But the moments speed forward, and on comes the noon,

Yet still I am singing, ‘He’ll come very soon’,

And thus I am watching from morning till night,

And pluming my wings to be ready for flight!

 

There’s a Man in the glory I know very well,

I have known Him for years, and His goodness can tell,

One day in His mercy He knocked at my door,

And, seeking admission, knocked many times o’er.

 

But when I went to Him and stood face to face,

And listened awhile to His story of grace,

How He suffered for sinners, and put away sin,

I heartily, thankfully welcomed Him in.

 

We have lived on together a number of years,

And that’s why I neither have doubtings nor fears,

For my sins are all hid in the depths of the sea,

They were carried down there by the Man on the tree.
