Take time to absorb Him

NS30
1
Take time to receive Him—the blessing’s outpoured,
And we may obtain it by reading His Word;
We bask in the splendour of His healing light,
And light becomes life, as in Him we delight.
2
Take time to absorb Him, to gain the supply,
That we may be watered and nourished thereby;
The deeper the roots spread, the deeper the flow,
And richer and higher within us He’ll grow.
3
Take time to inhale Him—His Word we may breathe;
By breathing it, God’s very life we receive—
He breathes Himself out so that we may breathe in
The life, the reality, fullness of Him.
4
Take time to enjoy Him, our portion is He:
Our present, available reality;
Our practical, real, and enjoyable Lord
Is everything to us through His living Word.
5
Take time to behold Him, gaze oft on His face,
Receiving His Person, and grace upon grace.
By His pleasant shining, infused we will be;
Our faces will glow with His light, radiantly.
