Verse 1

JESUS, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of Thine; The veil of sense hangs dark between Thy blessèd face and mine.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Like some bright dream that comes unsought, When slumbers o’er me roll, Thy image ever fills my thought, And charms my ravished soul.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

When death these mortal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending veil shall Thee reveal, All glorious as Thou art.
