Rejoicing in Revealing

"Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.... Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them: and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them" (Luke 10:20-24).

Rejoice for the things that God has revealed;
How blest are the eyes that can see!
To prophets and kings these things were sealed
That God shows to you and to me!

Rejoice with the Lord, who rejoices in us,
And finds in our blessing delight!
What love He reveals that gladdens Him thus,
For glories revealed in our sight!
