These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above; The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love.
This hymn was quoted by Sinclair Ferguson in his teaching at the memorial service for RC Sproul on Dec. 20, 2017 and referencing RC's great respect and awe at the holiness of God as taught by Isaiah in the 6th chapter. The service can be seen again at RC Sproul.com. Wondrous.
Born in England, son of Presbyterian parents, he became a minister and writer. He attacked the established church and was one of the 1st Nonconformists to improve hymn singing in their gatherings.
Of all his poems, only this one has remained. - Songs of the Spirit by Martin
