The chorus often wells up in my spirit as a prayer to the Lord. I really enjoy singing it. A few of us sang it today while meeting at my house for fellowship. Praise the Lord, the realm of light is gradually increasing in us as His life develops in us.
During a recent ministry message, I was very touched by Eph 4:17-18 about no longer walking a certain way, being darkened in our understanding. This was written to "the saints who are in Ephesus". This realization causes me to appreciate this hymn even more. Amen, " everything make bright, Lord, for this I pray to Thee."
In 2 Corinthians 3:18 Paul goes on to say, “But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. ” But indicates that we believers are different from the children of Israel. They were veiled, but we with unveiled face behold and reflect like a mirror the glory of the Lord and are thus being transformed into the same image as the Lord from glory to glory.
In verse 18 we denotes the apostles, who, as the examples and representatives of all believers, are the ministers of Christ. Although these verses describe the apostles, we should not think that these verses are not for us. The apostles are the examples and representatives of the believers. This means that what the apostles should be, we should be also. Therefore, these verses are also related to us.
In verses 8 and 9 the glory is related to the ministry of the new covenant. Here the glory is related to the apostles, the ministers of the new covenant. This shows that the ministry of the new covenant is not merely an activity carried out by the new covenant ministers; rather, it is what the new covenant ministers are. They are one with their ministry, for the same invisible glory saturates and pervades both their work and their being, so that there is no difference between the two.
The unveiled face is in contrast to the veiled mind, the veiled heart
(vv. 14-15). That our face is unveiled means that our heart has turned to the Lord, so that the veil has been taken away, and the Lord as the Spirit has freed us from the bondage, the veiling, of the law, so that there is no more insulation between us and the Lord.
According to verse 18 , we behold and reflect like a mirror the glory of the Lord. To behold the glory of the Lord is to see the Lord ourselves; to reflect the glory of the Lord is to enable others to see Him through us. We are like mirrors beholding and reflecting the glory of the Lord. This being the case, our face should be fully unveiled that we may see clearly and reflect accurately.
The glory in verse 18 is the glory of the Lord, the resurrected and ascended One, who as both God and man, passed through incarnation, human living on the earth, and crucifixion, entered into resurrection, accomplished full redemption, and became a life-giving Spirit. As the life-giving Spirit, He dwells in us to make Himself and all that He has accomplished, obtained, and attained real to us, that we may be one with Him and be transformed into the same image from glory to glory.
4. Being Transformed into the Image of the Lord
When we with unveiled face are beholding and reflecting the glory of the Lord, He infuses us with the elements of what He is and what He has done. Thus we are being transformed metabolically to have His life shape by His life power with His life essence; that is, we are being transfigured, mainly by the renewing of our mind (Rom. 12:2), into His image. Being transformed indicates that we are in the process of transformation.
Oh Lord Jesus, remove my covering that I may see Thy light. I open to You! Shine on my unrenewed mind. Shine on the good intentions of my ❤️ Shine on my desire to avoid the cross. Expose my unwillingness to take up the cross and follow You. Strengthen my inner man so that I may be willing to deny myself, take up cross, and lose my soul-life to follow You through death and resurrection for the building up of the church! For this I pray to Thee 🙏
I don't want to be deceived by my pride anymore, Lord remove this covering, make me humble and empty before You. I need more of Your living light Lord!
“Remove my veils, Lord” here in Hymn 426 and “Remove my covering, Lord” in Hymn 426 are synonomous
To remove in Hymn 426 is by prayer. To remove in Hymn 1220 is by the power by entering the one new man, the local church! Who would not be empowered to see five persons with five different backgrounds coming together as one new man! Glory to God, Hallelujah!
“Acts 13:1 Now there were in Antioch, in the local church, prophets and teachers: Barnabas and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. ”
“For this I pray”. “Remove my covering, Lord! ” Pray removes the covering. To me, how true!
Every dark part of our being has to be touched by the divine light.
The only way for us to enjoy Christ is in the light (Col. 1:12); God is light, and in Him, there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).
Lord, make us those who are in the light, walk in the light, and live in the light. We want to be here, in the light of Your presence, to enjoy Your riches and be in fellowship with You and with one another.
Praise the Lord! Light is simply the presence of God. Hallelujah 😀
William Howard Doane, writer of the music to this hymn, was born in Preston, Connecticut, February 3, 1831. He studied at Woodstock Academy, and afterwards acquired a musical education where he earned a Doctorate of Music at Denison University in 1875. He had an engineering and mechanical gift as well as a musical one, and patented more than 70 inventions. For several years, he was engaged with manufacturing both as employee and manager, but his interest for song-worship, Sunday-school and church work, never abated. Doane is better known as a choir trainer and composer of some of the best modern devotional tunes. His home was in Cincinnati Ohio. He passed away in 1915 at the age of 84.
He worked with Fanny Crosby for many years composing the music for many of her hymns.
