Just sharing today what a group of us were asked to sing at a Classical Ed. Conference this past weekend. What an honor.
And is it so! I shall be like Thy Son
(sung to the tune of Abide With Me)
And is it so! I shall be like Thy Son?
Is this the grace which He for me has won?
Father of glory—thought beyond all thought!
In glory, to His own blest likeness brought!
Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to Thee?
Fruit of Thy work, with Thee, too, there to see
Thy glory, Lord, while endless ages roll,
Myself the prize and travail of Thy soul.
Yet it must be: Thy love had not its rest
Were Thy redeemed not with Thee fully blest;
That love that gives not as the world, but shares
All it possesses with its loved co-heirs.
Nor I alone; Thy loved ones, all complete
In glory, round Thee there with joy shall meet
All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, Lord,
Object supreme of all, by all adored.Source:

Those are appropriate lyrics for the end of a conference on "What is Man?"
It was great to meet and get to know you, Kim! I video recorded the song and will post it to YouTube once I figure out how to get it off my iPad. It was just lovely!
