The Hidden Glory

If we knew of our dependence on the God who gave us life;

If we knew of His compassion as He sees us in the strife;

If we only saw the glory that is shining over there;

We would read His Word more faithfully and study it with care.

If our minds were not so crowded with the cares and things of time;

If our thoughts could soar to Heaven and explore that blissful clime;

If our eyes could see the vision of that land so far away;

We would read His Word more carefully and sense it as we pray.

If we'd contemplate the future looking thence for sure rewards;

If we'd tune our ears to listen to those sweet and heavenly chords;

We'd go pressing towards the mark of that glorious aftermath

With His Word a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path.
