God s Gentle Face

Let us sing to Jesus Christ,

The Lord of all mankind;

The Angel of the Covenant-

The Treasure we may find.

In brilliant light, He holds the keys

And crown of purest gold;

But to my heart He softly speaks

Of tenderness untold.

Beneath the crown, a gentle face,

Beneath the God, a man;

Beyond the cross, a spring of grace,

Upon the throne, a Lamb.

Although He makes the winds to blow,

His might I never see;

He searches for me to bestow

A Father s kiss on me.

I thank Him for His courtesy

In doing as I bid;

He shows me His humility,

But keeps His Glory hid.

You may speak of fire and dazzling rays,

Or burning visions see;

But the Lord who comes in gentleness

Is the greater God to me.
