FAITH AND SIGHT.
If the Great Ruler of the worlds should beMoved to descend from His eternal place,
To veil the awful splendor of His face
And lay aside invisibility,
So that our feeble eyes unblindedly
Might bear the softened glory, by His grace,
How gladly should we hasten to embrace
The privilege of worship at His knee!
From every corner of earth's peopled space,
From every island shouldered by the sea,
How would all souls, of every clime and race,
Gather to pour strong prayer and tremulous plea,
Unuttered now, because we cannot trace
The way to Him, and lack the faith to see!
