Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands
Words: Charles H. Spurgeon
Music:
"Hamburg" by Lowell Mason
John
20:26,27
Amidst us
our Beloved stands,
And bids us
view His pierced hands;
Points to
the wounded feet and side,
Blest
emblems of the Crucified.
What food
luxurious loads the board,
When at His
table sits the Lord!
The wine how
rich, the bread how sweet,
When Jesus
deigns the guests to meet!
If now, with
eyes defiled and dim,
We see the
signs, but see not Him;
O may His
love the scales displace,
And bid us
see Him face to face!
O glorious
Bridegroom of our hearts,
Your present
smile a heav'n imparts!
O lift the
veil, if veil there be,
Let every
saint Your glory see!
