Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #400 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: Jesus, these eyes have never seen 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 has 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: Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Scripture: John 12:21 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
