HYMN 93. Cant. 5. 12.—His Eyes are like the Eyes of Doves.

1

I'll tell you farther, that if such
A Person you shall see,
Whose Eyes like Doves are wash't with Milk
and Water this is he?

95

2

He hath a killing Eye, 'twill Pierce
through Adamantine Ears;
And wound a Rock but with a look,
and melt it into Tears.

3

Eyes that are clear and fitly set,
that can see all things past,
And all things present and to come,
as long as Time shall last:

4

Whose Eyes are Pure, Holy and Chast,
never defil'd with Sin;
That never was in the least Promp't
to take foul Objects in.

5

If such a One you meet, whose Eyes
like Flames, and Lamps of Fire
Strikes Dead, and yet gives Life thereby,
tis he that I desire?

6

This is the Man I seek, and praise,
All-seeing, and All-Eye:
Tell him, if such a one you meet,
'tis for his Love, I Die!
