While Je­sus bowed in pray­er,
But we be­lieve that mor­tal eyes
One day to be shared:
Blest morn­ing, whose young dawn­ing rays
And God, be­nign­ly smil­ing,
That wise men from the East, a coun­try afar,
In tra­vel­ing down the path of life,
That wise men from the East, a coun­try afar,
From Ol­ive’s hill, the mul­ti­tude up­gaz­ing,
And oft the dimp­ling wa­ters
From Ol­ive’s hill, the mul­ti­tude up­gaz­ing,
Face to face!  He met with Him there!
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.
All of self and none of Thee.
Standing on the shore at morn­ing,
One day to be shared:
The dawn of the first Christ­mas morn,
But oft­en in some far off Ga­li­lee
In the midst of them, appearing,
And look­ing up, the pros­trate three

Beheld

His face shine won­drous fair.
But we be­lieve that mor­tal eyes
Ear hath never heard;
That saw Him tri­umph o’er the dust,
Yet in that hour of bless­ing,
Like a ra­di­ant gem it shone up­on them,
And trem­bled not at com­ing strife,
Like a ra­di­ant gem it shone up­on them,
But ra­di­ant her­alds ut­tered words of pro­mise,
But Naa­man, the vic­tor,
But ra­di­ant her­alds ut­tered words of pro­mise,
God and man spoke intimately.
And came from the world of light
Bleeding on the cursed tree;
Saw the wreath­ing va­pors mount­ing
Ear hath never heard;
Messiah is king, with rap­ture we sing,
We’ve felt Thy touch in sor­row’s dark­ened way
Ever for the churches caring,
No more that vi­sion may re­turn,
