MHB 111 – JESUS, these eyes have never seen

Methodist-Hymns-111

1: JESUS, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of Thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessèd 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,
Thy 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 veil shall Thee reveal,
All glorious as Thou art.
