He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.—Isaiah 53.7.

[Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face; A Poem by David Dickson.]
Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face.
By David Dickson

I Love the windows of thy grace,

thro' which my Lord is seen,

I long to meet my Saviour's face,

without a glass between.

Oh! that the happy hour were come,

to change my faith to sight:

I shall behold my Lord at home

in a diviner light.

Haste my beloved, and remove

these interposing days;

Then shall my passions all be love,

and all my pow'rs be praise.
