CHRIST ALL IN ALL.

O loving Christ, I look within; Thou all my hidden life canst see, Deformed by guilt, defiled by sin, And yet I trust thou lovest me.
O loving Christ, I look behind, And near my tracks upon the sand A nail-pierced footprint there I find— Thou hast been ever at my hand.
O loving Christ, I look before; A mist hangs thick o'er hills and vales; Thou wilt be with me evermore, Thy loving guidance never fails.
O loving Christ, I look around; The flowers are blooming on the earth; The rose of Sharon still is found Amidst them all of greatest worth.
O loving Christ, I look beneath; Soon must this solid ground give way; Swiftly draws near resistless death— Thou wilt be with me in his day.
O loving Christ, I look above; The Father's house is large and fair, And in that home of perfect love I shall be with thee ever there. —Sel.
