Lord Jesus, gladly do our lips express Our heart’s deep sense of all Thy worthiness; Thou risen One, the Holy and the True, We give Thee now the praise so justly due. |

Thou giv’st us, Lord, once more to taste down here The joy Thy presence brings, its warmth and cheer; With great delight we ’neath Thy shadow rest; Thy fruit is sweet to those Thy love has blest. |

Thou wast alone, till like the precious grain In death Thou layest, but didst rise again; And in Thy risen life a countless host Are “all of one” with Thee, Thy joy and boast. |

In the past, in our corrupted union with the enemy of God, “Snake venom dripped from our lips” (Rom. 3:13, NLT). Now in union and fellowship with the Beloved Christ, He can declare, “Your lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb” (S. of S. 4:11). “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” (Psa. 19:14). “Lord Jesus, gladly do our lips express
our heart’s deep sense of all Thy worthiness”!
