Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #625 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of thine;
The vail of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine.
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
Yet art thou oft with me;
And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
As where I meet with thee.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought
When slumbers o'er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought
And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart,
The rending vail shall thee reveal,
All glorious as thou art. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Resting in Faith Alone
