Methodist-Hymns-172
1: WITH glorious clouds encompassed round,
Whom angels dimly see,
Will the Unsearchable be found,
Or God appear to me?
2: Will He forsake His throne above,
Himself to me impart?
Answer, Thou Man of grief and love,
And speak it to my heart!
3: In manifested love explain
Thy wonderful design;
What meant the suffering Son of Man,
The streaming blood divine?
4: Didst thou not in our flesh appear,
And live and die below,
That I may now perceive Thee near,
And my Redeemer know?
5: Come then, and to my soul reveal
The heights and depths of grace,
The wounds which all my sorrows heal,
That dear disfigured face.
6: I view the Lamb in His own light,
Whom angels dimly see,
And gaze, transported at the sight,
Through all eternity.
