137
THE TEMPLE WINDOWS.
“CHRIST IN YOU.”
“That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith.”
Since in the temple of the Christian's heart
Dwells Jesus, surely through the Christian's eyes
As through a window, or the thin disguise
Of screen or lattice-work, He will impart
Tokens of His dear presence; and will dart
Some gentle rays to comfort or make wise
A weary world that still in darkness lies,
Weighed down by doubts and fears and sorrow's smart.
Is “Christ in us,”—be ours the glorious dower
To show the Saviour shining in our face,
And through our eyes forth-putting His sweet power
To help the weak and wayward with His grace;
Oh, let not sin in us those windows dim
Through which the world might catch some glimpse of Him.
