Now Let Us See Thy Beauty, Lord

Now let us see Thy beau­ty

Lord

As we have seen be­fore;

And by Thy beau­ty quick­en us

To love Thee and ad­ore.

’Tis ea­sy when with sim­ple mind

Thy love­li­ness we see

To con­se­crate our­selves afresh

To du­ty and to Thee.

Our ev­ery fev­er­ish mood is cooled

And gone is ev­ery load

When we can lose the love of self

And find the love of God.

’Tis by Thy love­li­ness we’re won

To home and Thee again

And as we are Thy child­ren true

We are more tru­ly men.

Lord

it is com­ing to our­selves

When thus we come to Thee;

The bond­age of Thy love­li­ness

Is per­fect li­ber­ty.

So now we come to ask again

What Thou hast oft­en giv’n

The vi­sion of that love­li­ness

Which is the life of Heav’n.
