Through a Glass Darkly


For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV
            ~~~~~~~~~~~
The evening crowd is gone, and streets are dark
And in our joyful state we roam the night.
Ahead the temple of the Lord we mark
And soon peer in it's windows with our sight.
We think the glass is dark, but it's our eyes;
We think we know it all, but it's in part.
Yet O the wonders seen when we grow wise!
Yet O the things we'll know when heaven smart!
We journey far to see a lion close;
The final twenty yards will make us sweat.
The glass is dark until the light draws close;
You know in part until the Savior's met.
            When we've the mind of Christ through Love and Grace

            A servant we become then, face to face.
