Hast Thou Heard Him, Seen Him

2 Corinthians 1 20 - 22

Lyrics:

My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.

His Countenance (Hymn 1137)
(Capo 3 G)
             G                                        C           
1.  His countenance angels can often behold,
        G                      Em                Am7-D7
But ne’er taste His love in His grace;
        G					       C
His saints, though they know of His pure, boundless love,
           G              D                     G
Have never yet once seen His face.
       D                           	         C            G
His saints will before long His visage behold,
       Am                   D                G
E’en in His bright glory will share;
                                              C
But Mary, beholding His tears as He wept,
             G                            D         G
Could touch His heart’s agony there.
             G                            C-D      G
Could touch His heart’s agony there.

2. We’ll soon see the Lord, as He is, face to face,
We’ll know Him as never before;
But that touch today, healing our broken heart,
In that day will be felt no more.
That day, though our lips offer unceasing praise,
No tears, then, nor prayers fervent burn;
Nor is there the comfort received through much pain,
Nor trust gained through trials to learn,
Nor trust gained through trials to learn.

3. Exceeding in glory, that day we’ll be crowned,
Yet there’ll be no cross to obey;
The sweet fellowship of His suff’rings for us
We only can share in today.



Once we’ve that rest entered, no weariness then,
Nor chance will remain to partake
The trials nor the hardships, nor happiness lost,
Nor suffering borne for His sake,
Nor suffering borne for His sake.


4. Oh, chances to suffer for Him are so few,
His shame and derision to bear;
Such blest opportunities soon pass away,
That He in our troubles may share.
All loneliness, misunderstandings and scorn
Despisings and sorrows will flee;
I treasure these blessings, for through them, O Lord,
I enter sweet oneness with Thee,
I enter sweet oneness with Thee.

5. I long to behold, Lord, Thy countenance soon,
What rapture with Thee, Lord, to meet.
But neither seek I all these trials to avoid;
Such times, Lord, are too rare and sweet.
Have mercy on me, fill me with Thy great love,
For Thee, Lord, to live at all cost;
Lest Thy servant, hoping for that blessed day,
That day, regret chances were lost,
That day, regret chances were lost.

Springs

His Countenance (Hymn 1137)

1. Olives that have known no pressure
No oil can bestow;
If the grapes escape the winepress,
Cheering wine can never flow;
Spikenard only through the crushing,
Fragrance can diffuse.
Shall I then, Lord, shrink from suff’ring
Which Thy love for me would choose?

CHORUS:  
Each blow I suffer
Is true gain to me.
In the place of what Thou takest
Thou dost give Thyself to me.

2. Do my heart-strings need Thy stretching,
Songs divine to prove?
Do I need for sweetest music
Cruel treatment of Thy love?
Lord, I fear no deprivation
If it draws to Thee;
I would yield in full surrender
All Thy heart of love to see.

3. I’m ashamed, my Lord, for seeking
Self to guard alway;
Though Thy love has done its stripping,
Yet I’ve been compelled this way.
Lord, according to Thy pleasure
Fully work on me;
Heeding not my human feelings,
Only do what pleases Thee.

4. If Thy mind and mine should differ,
Still pursue Thy way;
If Thy pleasure means my sorrow,
Still my heart shall answer, “Yea!”
’Tis my deep desire to please Thee,
Though I suffer loss;
E’en though Thy delight and glory
Mean that I endure the cross.

5. Oh, I’ll praise Thee, e’en if weeping
Mingle with my song.
Thine increasing sweetness calls forth
Grateful praises all day long.
Thou hast made Thyself more precious
Than all else to me:
Thou increase and I decrease, Lord-
This is now my only plea.

Olives That Have Known No Pressure

Worldly affairs encumbered me; till the Lord said, “Come, follow Me!”
I was exhausted, faltering; still He called and would not leave me be;
At once, when I responded: “Yes!”, He shined His glad’ning ray!
Glory, rest, shouts of praise fill all my days as I follow on His way.

Though in this world a way exists
Filled with crowds with greatness obsessed;
My heart already is possessed, let those who would take it try their best;
Lord, I’ve been sanctified by Thee, For God alone I’m meant,
My all is in Your sovereign hand, all for the new way to be spent.

No man can serve two masters, from God and the world seek reward,
Whether ’tis spent or whether reserved, ointment can but once be outpoured;
Lord, You’re my only one true love, I’d ne’er repent nor swerve.
Lord, You alone are worthy of all my life and all my love.

Upon this altar of consecration, supply the flame; refine me, I pray;
Lord, You chose me, ’twas mercy and grace; Gladly I choose Thee, to repay.
The days of this life don’t seem that special, but the earth to heaven they join;
In Your smile’s delight, I fix my sight, running towards th’ eternal crown.
