The Valley of Vision
Lord, high
and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to
the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but
see Thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of
sin I behold Thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that
the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be
high, that the broken heart is the healed heart,
that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,
that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that
to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the
cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to
receive, that the valley is the place of vision.
Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest
wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter Thy
stars shine; let me find Thy light in my darkness,
Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow, Thy
grace in my sin, Thy riches in my poverty, Thy glory
in my valley.
