"Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever.... He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.... There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets" (Daniel 2:20-28). "The preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery... was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets... made known to all nations for the obedience of faith" (Romans 16:25-27).
There is a God on heaven's throne
Who graciously reveals
The deep and secret things unknown,
Which heaven had concealed.
But now has He made manifest
His wondrous Gospel plan,
By which humanity was blest
Before the world began.
The things in retrospect we see
God saw before they came.
He saw the cross at Calvary
Where Christ would bear our shame.
And thus we view the mystery
Through heaven's looking glass,
Where God foretells the history
Before it comes to pass.
According to this revelation
Is Christ our Lord now preached,
And thus made known to every nation
To which His Word has reached.
