HYMN 108. (S. M.) Christ unseen and beloved, 1 Pet. i. 8.
I
Not with our mortal eyesHave we beheld the Lord,
Yet we rejoice to hear his name,
And love him in his word.
II
On earth we want the sightOf our Redeemer's face,
Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
To dwell upon thy grace.
III
And when we taste thy love,Our joys divinely grow
Unspeakable, like those above,
And heaven begins below.
