11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life. To Jesus
first this way was shown. He himself opened up the way through his own flesh,
and then trod it as the forerunner of his own redeemed. The thought of being
made the path of life to his people gladdened the soul of Jesus. In thy presence is fullness of joy. Christ being raised from the dead ascended
into glory, to dwell in constant nearness to God, where joy is at its fullness
forever: the foresight of this urged him onward in his glorious but grievous
toil. O God, when the worldling’s mirth has all expired, may we dwell forever
with Jesus at thy right hand, where there are pleasures forevermore;
and meanwhile, may we have an earnest by tasting thy love below.
