Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands
C. H. Spurgeon (1866) • English
Primary Scripture: Luke 24:30-31
Verse 1
Amidst us our Beloved stands, and bids us view His pierced hands; points to the wounded feet and side, blest emblems of the Crucified.
Verse 2
What food luxurious loads the board, when, at His table, sits the Lord! The cup how rich, the bread how sweet, when Jesus deigns the guests to meet!
Verse 3
If now, with eyes defiled and dim, we see the signs, but see not Him; O may His love the scales displace, and bid us see Him face to face!
Verse 4
Our former transports we recount, when with Him in the holy mount: these cause our souls to thirst anew His marred but lovely face to view.
