[Happy soul whom Jesus chooses]

He that hath My commandments, &c. —xiv. 21.

Happy soul whom Jesus chooses,
Loving servant of his Lord!
Love obedience true produces,
Love shall bring its own reward:
To His most imperfect lover,
Him who just begins to know,
Jesus will Himself discover,
All the depths of Godhead show.
For that farther revelation
Humbly Lord, I wait on Thee;
Visit with Thy great salvation,
Show Thine utmost love to me;
Make Thy goodness pass before me,
With Thy heavenly Father one,

16

In my heart display Thy glory,
Then translate me to Thy throne.
