How oft, O Lord, thy face hath shone
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How oft, O Lord, thy face hath shone
on doubting souls whose wills were true!
Thou Christ of Peter and of John,
thou art the Christ of Thomas too.
2. He loved thee well, and calmly said,
"Come, let us go, and die with him";
yet when thine Easter-news was spread,
mid all its light his eyes were dim.
3. His brethren's word he would not take,
but craved to touch those hands of thine:
when thou didst thine appearance make,
he saw, and hailed his Lord Divine.
4. He saw thee risen; at once he rose
to full belief's unclouded height;
and still through his confession flows
to Christian souls thy life and light.
5. O Savior, make thy presence known
to all who doubt thy Word and thee;
and teach us in that Word alone
to find the truth that sets us free.
