Shining forth in ceaseless grace,
Reaching weary hearts, and lonely,
Beams the light from Jesus’ face!
Shining forth on earth beneath,
Through His Spirit freely given
Light of life ’midst shades of death;
God Himself the treasure brought,
Closing thus His love’s sweet story
With His sweetest, deepest thought.
But the treasure as of old,
Fresh from glory, gleaming brightly,
Heaven’s undimmed, unchanging gold.
Through the hungry ages on
Riches giv’n with hand unsparing—
God’s great Gift, His precious Son!
