the half cannot be fancied

Sometimes old and antiquated language really communicates.  I'm thinking today of the great salvation history song "Still Sweeter Every Day" written close to 100 years ago by W.C. Martin.  You can read about him here. Watch the youtube channel Minstrelcraft sing it; The refrain of this song is talking about Jesus and the wonders that the new life in Christ bring:

1 To Jesus ev'ry day I find my heart is closer drawn,
He's fairer than the glory of the gold and purple dawn;
He's all my fancy pictures in its fairest dreams, and more,
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.
Refrain:
The half cannot be fancied, this side the golden shore;
O there He'll be still sweeter than He ever was before.
2 His glory broke upon me when I saw Him from afar,
He's fairer than the lily, brighter than the morning star;
He fills and satisfies my longing spirit o'er and o'er,
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. [Refrain]
3 My heart is sometimes heavy but he comes with sweet relief,
He folds me to His bosom when I droop with blighting grief;
I love the Christ who all my burdens in His body bore,
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. [Refrain] (Special thanks to www.hymnary.org) 
The half truly cannot be fancied.  Praise God!
