<p><em>
Spurgeon, &quot;Christ the Glory of His People&quot; </em><br />
<br />
Oh! if your eyes are but once favored to<br />
gaze upon him, and your heads but once<br />
permitted to lean upon his loving bosom,<br />
you shall never see anything so glorious<br />
as the person of the Beloved. <br />
<br />
Brethren, the moon is a blot, and the<br />
sun a burnt out coal, compared with the<br />
glory of our Immanuel. <br />
<br />
It is impossible to exaggerate his glory. <br />
<br />
Christ is too lovely for us ever to say a<br />
word that shall approach half way to the<br />
fullness of his unspeakable excellence<br />
and boundless worth! <br />
<br />
All over glorious is our precious Lord! <br />
<br />
He is a miracle of love,<br />
the astonishment of earth,<br />
the marvel of heaven,<br />
the all in all of our souls! <br />
<br />
But if there be a place where, above all others,<br />
we would kiss his feet and wash them with our<br />
tears, and love him best of all, it is Calvary's<br />
cross. How our hearts burn when we think of<br />
his bearing the load of guilt for us--<br />
<strong>Groaning, sweating, bleeding,<br />
and painfully yielding up his life!</strong>
