Sight of the Son

"Let Thy hand be upon the Man of Thy right hand, upon the Son of Man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself... Turn us again, O Lord of hosts, cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved" (Psalm 80:17,19). "But he [Stephen], being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55,56).

What a sight that Stephen saw!
Filled with wonder, joy, and awe,
Heaven opened, see Him stand,
Jesus Christ, at God's right hand.

Turn us, Lord, to see as well,
That One who saved our souls from hell.
For then, and only then, can we
Live out the truth that makes free.
