Monday Verse - My goal is God Himself

Some of you may have seen that I tweeted out the Banner of Truth Black Friday e-book sale where you could pick up their titles for a mere $2 a piece. I picked up a couple, one of which was Sinclair Ferguson's book Discovering God's Will. I thought it could be an interesting title and his book In Christ Alone is awesome, so i pulled the trigger. In the book, I found this hymn, which is now today's Monday Verse.

My goal is God Himself
F. Brook

My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.
