Ezekiel's Vision

By Jennie Owen Mc Clelland

JENNIE OWEN MC CLELLAND
The prophet gazed with wondering eyes On scenes that baffled human speech; He sought to carry down with words These wondrous scenes, within our reach; But earth-born words could faintly draw The glories of the heavenly land; Our senses, dulled by earthly things, Can only faintly understand The glorious scene.
He saw a wheel within a wheel, He saw a hand beneath the wings. How oft God's agents hidden are That bring to us some blessed things! We do not see the path they tread, We do not hear their tramping feet, But softly, silently, they come And fill our life with influence sweet And heavenly joy.
He saw one power pervading all, The wheels and living creatures, too; By its control they backward went, At its command they forward flew. The Spirit permeated all, And naught resisted his control; So harmony and might and power Were witnessed in the living whole. O wondrous thought!
Could all God's children here below But let the Spirit have his way, And yield to every moving thus From hour to hour, from day to day, What work the church on earth might do! What could resist its heavenly power? The work below would soon be done, And soon arrive that blessed hour When Christ should come.
Heart, N. Dak.
