The Unsearchable Riches of Christ

By Mrs. S. L. Stout

MRS. S. L. STOUT

Eye hath not seen, except in holy vision Permitted those who know and love the Lord, The glory of his throne, the fields Elysian, The wonders of the universe of God;

The crystal stream, the tree of life, the fame Of which have sung the prophet and the seer; The splendor of immortal fruits and flowers; the same That never fade in Eden’s atmosphere; The pastures fair; the Lamb of life and glory, Leading his flock like shepherd kind and great— O precious word! O true and ancient story! I wait for him—for him my soul doth wait.

And glittering stones! I close my eyes, and see them; Or gazing up into the azure blue, Methinks the grandeur of the heavenly beacon Above the mist is almost gleaming through.

And O, to think that earth-born souls shall know thee! Earth-born, but changed in spirit-birth before: Blest Lord, on earth in rapture we behold thee In all thy works, and worship, and adore.
