Thy Glory Drawing Nigh
By Effie Darlene Barba
The clouds that dance across the sky
The shades of green beneath that lie
Sunlight’s rays stretch from on high
Display Thy Glory drawing nigh
The strength and hope as friends draw near
To speak a word of kindness, cheer
To give a smile or dry a tear
Display Thy love—that Thou art here
A toddling baby’s laughter, squeal
The wonder, awe of all that’s real
A child like glee we’re bid to feel
Displays Thy joy-so great, surreal
Oh, Lord; Thy Grace, Thy Love Divine
Thou art a treasure-precious fine
To think you chose to make me thine
How could a man thy gift decline!
Dear Lord, I ask, “Help me Display
Thy love, Thy Grace, Thy joy today.
For someone lost or gone astray
A guiding light that shines the way.”
“Disavowing pride, my heart of stone
To humbly bow before Thy Throne
And let your light through me be shone
That Thy Dear Son might then be known”
Unto a world so filled with pain
Where sin has left such crimson stain
And Lies of man, a joy doth feign
Where evil hearts thy love constrain
If they could see thy true delight
Thy mercies new each dawning light
Thy Glorious beauty shining bright
Thy strength, thy sovereignty, thy might
The clouds that dance across the sky
The shades of green beneath that lie
Sunlight’s rays stretch from on high
Display Thy Glory drawing nigh
