Members farouk Posted September 13, 2021 Members Share Posted September 13, 2021 When this passing world is done When has sunk yon glaring sun When I stand with Christ on high Looking o'er life's history Then Lord shall I fully know Not till then how much I owe When I stand before the throne Dressed in beauty not my own When I see thee as thou are Love thee with unsinning heart Then Lord shall I fully know Not till then how much I owe When the praise of heaven I hear Loud as thunders to the ear Loud as many waters noise Sweets as harps melodious voice Then Lord shall I fully know Not till then how much I owe E'en on earth as through a glass Darkly let thy glory pass Make forgiveness feel so sweet Make thy Spirit's help so meet E'en on earth Lord make me know Something of how much I owe Robert Murray M'Cheyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerry Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 He wrote another awesome hymn as well: The Lord Our Righteousness I once was a stranger to grace and to God, I knew not my danger, and felt not my load; Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ on the tree, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU was nothing to me. I oft read with pleasure, to soothe or engage, Isaiah's wild measure and John's simple page; But e'en when they pictured the blood-sprinkled tree, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU seemed nothing to me. Like tears from the daughters of Zion that roll, I wept when the waters went over His soul; Yet thought not that my sins had nailed to the tree, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU -- 'twas nothing to me. When free grace awoke me, by light from on high, Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die; No refuge, no safety in self could I see -- JEHOVAH TSIDKENU my Saviour must be. My terrors all vanished before the sweet name; My guilty fears banished, with boldness I came To drink at the fountain, life-giving and free -- JEHOVAH TSIDKENU is all things to me. JEHOVAH TSIDKENU! my treasure and boast, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU! I ne'er can be lost; In Thee I shall conquer by flood and by field -- My cable, my anchor, my breastplate and shield! Even treading the valley, the shadow of death. This watchword shall rally my faltering breath; For while from life's fever my God sets me free, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU my death-song shall be. ~Robert Murray McCheyne~ Jehovah Tsidkenu means "The LORD our Righteousness." Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
