E Bevan, Tr (478/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

E Bevan, Tr FROM the glory and the gladness, From His secret place; From the rapture of His presence From His radiant face: Christ, the Son of God, hath sent me Through the midnight lands; Mine the mighty ordination Of the pierced hands. Mine the message grand and glorious Strange unsealed surprise; That the goal is God’s Beloved, Christ in Paradise. Glory to His name! Glory to His name! Yes, the goal is God’s Beloved, Christ in Paradise. 2 Hear me, weary men and women, Sinners dead in sin; I am come from heaven to tell you Of the love within; Not alone of God’s great pathway Leading up to heaven; Not alone how you may enter Stainless and forgiven. 3 But I tell you I have seen Him, God’s beloved Son, From His lips have learnt the mystery, He and His are one. There, as knit into the body Every joint and limb, We, His ransomed, His beloved, We are one with Him.
