Alphabet of Praise: B is for God's Own Beauty

B
is for God’s own beauty
Enveloping life’s days
With fairest grants of goodness
Marked by eternal praise.

A beauty that enhances
Each circumstance of life—
A loveliness which carves out peace
Into the rills of strife.

A beauty that clothes humble hearts
With garments made of praise,
Offering a joyful, godly song
Instead of mournful lays.

Oh, saint, behold this beauty—
The ever great I AM
Renews your chief desires:
Oh, follow then, His plan!

A never-fading loveliness
He trades for temporal things;
Oh seek Him and adore Him,
This beauteous King of Kings!

 “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; 
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, 
to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple”-- Psalm 27:4.
