God Forbid That I Should Glory

GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD GLORY

I gloried in youth,
It passed on;
I gloried in strength,
Then it too, was gone;

I gloried in wealth,
I thought I might gain;
I gloried in health
And freedom from pain.

But gone is the hope
Of silver and gold,
And health drifts away
As the body grows old.

In what can I glory
And not suffer loss?
I’ll glory in Christ
And His death on the cross.

I’ll glory in love
He showed for me there;
And the home up above,
He’s gone to prepare.

I'll glory in this;
He’s coming again!
I’ll glory in bliss
I shall know when He reigns.

I’ll glory in grace
Each day that I live;
Then I'll see His face
And to Him, Glory give!
