Sunday's Hymn: Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.

Refrain

Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.

Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.

I think of my blessèd Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.

I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.

I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.

—Fanny J. Crosby

He Come From De Glory

…to show us the glory of God.

Once again, it’s my day to post at Out of the Ordinary.  This week I wrote about Christ as the radiance of the glory of God. Here’s a snippet:

The Son is eternally the radiance of the glory of God. Even in the incarnation, he continued to shine with God’s glory. It’s true that while he walked the earth, Christ’s glory was veiled, with the veil pulled back just once for a brief glimpse at his transfiguration, when, writes Peter, “we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” However, in a counterintuitive twist—unexpected, but so right when you think on it—it is in the veiling of God’s glory in the incarnate Christ that we, as sinful beings, can actually look on the glory of God.
