O HAPPY DAY!
John 1:16
"And from HIS fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."

"Glorious God, I bless Thee that I know Thee. I once lived in the world, but was ignorant of its Creator, was partaker of Thy providences, but knew not the provider, was blind while enjoying hte sunlight, was deaf to all things spiritual, with voices all around me, understood many things, but had no knowledge of Thy ways, saw the world but did not see Jesus only. O HAPPY DAY, when in Thy love's sovereignty Thou didst look me, and call me by grace. THEN did the dead heart begin to beat, the darkened eye glimmer with light, the dull ear catch Thy echo, and I turned to Thee and found Thee, a God ready to hear, willing to save.
(Valley of Vision, pp edition, p 62)
