Vistas of His View


"The LORD'S throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men" (Psalm 11:4).  "A faithful man who can find?... The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts" (Proverbs 20:6,27).  "Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him" (Genesis 5:24).  "Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world" (John 17:24). 

The Lord enthroned above can see
The thoughts of men who are inclined
To boast of their nobility,
But faithful men are hard to find. 

The Lord exposes every fraud
And searches all the inward parts.
He knows each one who walks with God,
And He encourages their hearts. 

As Enoch walked with God each day
And in His presence had delight,
God took him home to thus display
That he was pleasing in His sight. 

O Lord, these vistas of Your view
Have set our hearts on things above
Where we shall ever be with You
And rest in Your eternal love!
