Text: | Not with our mortal eyes |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | CARLISLE |
Composer: | Charles Lockhart |
1 Not with our mortal eyes
Have we beheld the Lord;
Yet we rejoice to hear His name,
And love Him in His word.
2 On earth we want the sight
Of our Redeemer's face;
Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
To dwell upon Thy grace.
3 And when we taste Thy love,
Our joys divinely grow
Unspeakable, like those above,
And Heaven begins below.
Amen.
