"The LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend" (Exodus 33:11). "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant" (Psalm 25:14). "The fear of the LORD tendeth to life" (Proverbs 19:23). "The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ... Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means" (2 Thessalonians 3:5,16).
How
wonderful is this report
Of
God and Moses face to face,
As
Friend to friend who would resort
To
speak together in that place.
Is not this
friendship marvelous
That God has
offered to us here,
As He Himself
communes with us
Who walk with
Him in godly fear?
The fear of God forever
tends
To manifest in
us His life.
He is the
closest of all friends;
He is our Peace
in times of strife.
O Lord, when
face to face above,
Your friendship
which we shall behold
Shall then
persuade us by Your love
To say,
"The half has not been told!"
