From those deep wounds!
"And a man shall be as a hiding place from
the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as
rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow
of a great rock in a weary land." Isaiah 32:2
the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as
rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow
of a great rock in a weary land." Isaiah 32:2
Here, sinner, is your hiding place!
Under the shadow of HIM who once
groaned and bled on Calvary, you can
find eternal repose!
While passing through this weary
land, through this wilderness world--
lean on HIM, who will guide you safely
to glory. In HIM, you will experience
that joy which the world cannot impart;
and that peace of GOD, which passes
all understanding.
By that blessed side which was once
pierced with the soldier's spear--
you will enjoy the favors and smiles
of a reconciled GOD.
From those deep wounds that were
inflicted on the SAVIOR'S immortal form--
fountains of joy, as inexhaustible as
the ocean of divine perfection itself,
will flow in the richest streams of grace,
to refresh, invigorate and animate your soul.
O! there is something about Calvary
so mysterious in its nature--
and so glorious in its results. Time
can never disclose, nor vast eternity
unravel, those things connected with
that affecting scene, displayed when
the SON of GOD bowed HIS head and
exclaimed,
Go to Calvary, that life-giving mount, where
the unbounded love of GOD for sinners once
glowed in the bosom of HIS SON with more
than human splendor; where it beamed forth
in all the effulgence of the divinity--
when the holy JESUS hung a suffering,
bleeding, victim on the ignominious cross.
