Having seen the world’s fair beauty

Having seen the world’s fair beauty

Lord

I would be blind once more

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.

Having seen the world’s fair beauty

Lord

I would be blind once more

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.

Dawn and sunset

star and moonlight

I can see in paradise

But while here on earth His mercy

For my blindness will suffice.

I no more would be delivered

From my thorn

but look for grace

While within the veil His glory

Shineth brightly on my face.

In the deep dark night

His beauty

I by faith

not sight

may trace;

He was ridiculed and hated

Yet I see His glorious face.

Sun and moonlight far surpassing

Clouds and Milky Way o’erspread

Is the glory all transcending

Shining from His thorn-crowned head.
