[Thou God unknown]
Thou God unknown,
For whom I groan
Till the dark hour is over,
God in Christ reveal Thy Son,
Thyself in Christ discover.
For whom I groan
Till the dark hour is over,
God in Christ reveal Thy Son,
Thyself in Christ discover.
The world through Him
Thou didst redeem;
By His most precious passion,
By His agonies extreme,
He purchased my salvation.
Thou didst redeem;
By His most precious passion,
By His agonies extreme,
He purchased my salvation.
Yet without Thee
I cannot see
My interest in my Saviour;
Tell my heart He died for me,
For me deserved Thy favour.
I cannot see
My interest in my Saviour;
Tell my heart He died for me,
For me deserved Thy favour.
Bought with His blood,
O that I could
Lay hold on Jesus' merit,
Pardon'd by a dying God,
Enlighten'd by Thy Spirit.
O that I could
Lay hold on Jesus' merit,
Pardon'd by a dying God,
Enlighten'd by Thy Spirit.
Thou God of grace
My darkness chase,
In goodness pass before me,
Show Thyself in Jesus' face,
And manifest Thy glory.
My darkness chase,
In goodness pass before me,
Show Thyself in Jesus' face,
And manifest Thy glory.

Then, then I see
The Deity
On ransom'd sinners smiling,—
To Thyself the world, and me
Benignly reconciling.
The Deity
On ransom'd sinners smiling,—
To Thyself the world, and me
Benignly reconciling.
Thy loving son
With Jesus one,
I then shall fall before Thee,
Bold address Thy gracious throne,
And worthily adore Thee.
With Jesus one,
I then shall fall before Thee,
Bold address Thy gracious throne,
And worthily adore Thee.
Me from my Lord
To heaven restored,
Nor life nor death shall sever;
Crown'd with love's immense reward,
With love which reigns for ever!

Nor life nor death shall sever;
Crown'd with love's immense reward,
With love which reigns for ever!
