5 Verses Beauty Of Christ Wilderness Journey Victory In Christ

Verse 1

Lord Jesus! When we think of Thee, Of all Thy love and grace, Our spirits long and fain would see Thy beauty face to face.

Verse 2

And though the wilderness we tread, A barren, thirsty ground, With thorns and briars overspread, Where foes and snares abound;

Verse 3

Yet in Thy love such depths we see, Our hearts o'erflow with praise- Content ourselves, while, Lord to Thee A joyful song we raise.

Verse 4

Our Lord, our Life, our Rest, our Shield, Our Rock, our Food, our Light; Each thought of Thee doth constant yield Unchanging, fresh delight.

Verse 5

Blest Savior, keep our spirit stayed, Hard following after Thee, Till we, in victory displayed, Thy face in glory see.
