 Looking o'er life's finished story--'

 Not till then— how much 1 owe.

 Dres«2d in beauty not my own :' 
 When I see Thee as Thou art 
 Love Thee with unsinning heart. 
 Then, Lord, shall I fully know-

 "I freely all forgive; 
 This blood is for thy ransom paid.

 While the sweei lark exulting soars ; 
 So soft, to your Almig:hty Friend,

 So true let all your sorrows loll 
 To him who bled upon the tree.

 BEHOLD a stranger at the door! 
 He gently knocks— has knocked before ; 
 Has waited long — is waiting still ;

 With melting heart and loaded hands ! 
 O, matchless kindness ! and he shows 
 This matchless kindness to his foes.
