Jesus, These Eyes Have Never Seen
Ray Palmer (1858) • English
Primary Scripture: John 12:21
Verse 1
Jesus, these eyes have never seen that radiant form of thine; the veil of sense hangs dark between thy blessèd face and mine.
Verse 2
I see thee not, I hear thee not, yet art thou oft with me; and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot as where I meet with thee.
Verse 3
Yet, though I have not seen, and still must rest in faith alone, I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, unseen, but not unknown.
Verse 4
When death these mortal eyes shall seal, and still this throbbing heart, the rending veil shall thee reveal all glorious as thou art.
