So says Simeon when he beheld the Savior of the world in the arms of His parents in the temple. I know that a song exists that begins with these words (but I could not find it today):Luke 2:30: "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation..."
Mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
My heart has been cleansed by thy grace...
It really is a great song (please feel free to let me know if you have a source for these lyrics). But it got me to thinking if there were any hymns with this idea for a title.
Again, not that I could find. But I was reminded of this classic verse from a famous hymn:
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Let us remember Who we are "looking at": The King and Creator, the One Who was both the babe in the manger and the Savior on the cross.
