A devotional meditation

Last night in worship team practice we sang, "Spirit of God Descend Upon My Heart" to the tune "Morecambe". That same tune is used for the song by one of my favorite hymn writers, Horatius Bonar. It is "Here, O My Lord I See Thee Face to Face". For your morning meditation here are the words. Read and worship!

Here O my Lord I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean.

Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav'nly table spread for me: here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong the brief, bright hour of fellowship with thee.

I have no help but thine, nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon: it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood; here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace, thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord my God.
