The poem draws from 2 Corinthians 4:18, emphasizing a Christ-centered focus on eternal realities over fleeting earthly things. It portrays the world’s temporary allure as fragile and fading, contrasting it with the enduring, unseen glory of Jesus Christ. Through vivid imagery, the poem highlights Christ’s eternal kingdom, His sacrificial love, and His unchanging presence as the anchor of faith. It invites believers to fix their gaze on Jesus, the crucified and risen Savior, whose grace and truth shine beyond the temporal veil, offering hope and eternal life.

Beyond the veil of earthly sight,
Where fleeting shadows dim the light,
We fix our gaze on Christ alone,
The King eternal, God’s own Son.

The world’s frail charms, though bright they seem,
Are but a breath, a passing dream.
Its treasures fade, its glories cease,
But Christ endures, our Prince of Peace.

Unseen, yet real, His kingdom stands,
Its truth upheld by nail-scarred hands.
His love, a fire that never wanes,
Outshines the stars, forever reigns.

In Him, the unseen becomes our home,
Through faith we see where angels roam.
No temporal veil can hide His face,
His cross our anchor, His heart our place.

O Christ, our hope, exquisite, true,
Your boundless grace comes shining through.
Eternal Lord, our eyes abide,
On You, the Life, the Crucified.
