Most Holy Lord I Love Thy Truth – Hymn Lyric
Most holy Lord! I love thy truth,
Nor dare thy least commandment slight;
Yet pierced by sin, the serpent’s tooth,
I mourn the anguish of the bite.
But though the poison lurks within,
Hope bids me still with patience wait;
Till death shall set me free from sin,
Free from the only thing I hate.
Had I a throne above the rest,
Where angels and archangels dwell;
One sin, unslain within my breast,
Would make that heaven as dark as hell.
But there no foe invades the bliss,
When glory crowns the Christian’s head;
One view of Jesus as he is,
Will strike all sin forever dead.
Meaning of Most Holy Lord I Love Thy Truth
In this beautiful hymn, we are reminded of the deep love and respect we have for the truth of our Most Holy Lord. We are urged not to take even the smallest of His commandments lightly, because we know that sin can cause us great pain and suffering.
When we are faced with the consequences of our sin, it can feel like we have been bitten by a serpent. The poison of sin can seep into our hearts and cloud our minds, causing us to despair. But even in our darkest moments, we can hold onto hope and know that someday, death will release us from the grip of sin.
If we were to imagine ourselves sitting on a throne surrounded by angels and archangels, we might think that we are in a place of great glory and happiness. But if even a single sin remained in our hearts, it would cast a shadow over that heavenly scene, turning it into something dark and joyless.
Thankfully, in the presence of our Most Holy Lord, there is no room for sin to dwell. When we are crowned with glory, we are free from the grip of sin, and we can bask in the radiant light of His love. Just one glimpse of Jesus, in all His glory and grace, is enough to banish sin from our lives forever.
Let us hold fast to the truth of our Most Holy Lord, knowing that His love and grace are more powerful than any sin we may face. Let us strive to keep His commandments, trusting in His promise to set us free from the chains of sin. And let us remember that in the presence of our Lord, there is no room for darkness or despair only light, love, and eternal joy.
