2 Peter 3:18 (KJV)
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
In grace divine, let every heart expand,
A living root that drinks the heaven-sent rain,
Not static, bound by flesh’s feeble hand,
But rising, growing through both joy and pain.
Increase in knowledge of our Saviour’s face,
Whose love unveiled outshines the morning star,
To know Him more is heaven’s endless chase,
Each step a flame that draws the soul from far.
To Jesus Christ, our Lord and King alone,
Be glory poured, both in this fleeting now
And onward to eternity’s bright throne,
Where endless ages evermore shall bow.
Amen — the final word of ceaseless praise,
Our growing hearts His endless song shall raise.
