[Blind to ourselves by nature we]
They bring a blind man unto Him, &c.
—viii. 22.
Blind to ourselves by nature we,
Blind to the things of God, were born,
When God assumed humanity,
Our darkness into light to turn,
He touch'd our nature with His own,
And made them in His person one.

And made them in His person one.
He to the conscious soul of man
Still condescends Himself to' unite,
Broods o'er the dark abyss again,
And sighing saith “Let there be light!
Open thine eyes of faith, and see
Thy God incarnated in Me.”

O Jesus, after Thee I feel,
To Thee present my blindfold heart:
Touch by Thy grace invisible,
And bid these scales of sin depart:
Till Thou mine unbelief remove,
I cannot see that God is love.
