My father was very fond of quoting this poem in his older age…I have no idea where it came from, but thought it was worthwhile posting here for others to enjoy….

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is……….. (1 John 3:2) 

With Him in glory, oh wonderful word,

Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard;

Mind has not fathomed the future in store,

Reserved for the children of God evermore.

Suffering over, failure and sin,

Like Him without, like Him within;

Bodies made perfect and spirits set free,

We’ll share in His glory, whose glory we’ll see;

With Him in glory, beholding His face

With him in glory, oh marvellous grace;

Holy and happy, radiant in bliss,

Can there be anything greater than this?
