Praying For Faith
Charles Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Job 11:7
Verse 1
With glorious clouds encompassed round, whom angels dimly see, will the Unsearchable be found, or God appear to me?
Verse 2
Will he forsake his throne above, himself to me impart? Answer, thou Man of grief and love, and speak it to my heart!
Verse 3
In manifested love explain thy wonderful design; what meant the suffering Son of Man? the streaming blood divine?
Verse 4
Didst thou not in our flesh appear, and live and die below, that I may now perceive thee near, and my Redeemer know?
Verse 5
Come then, and to my soul reveal the heights and depths of grace, those wounds which all my sorrows heal, that dear disfigured face.
Verse 6
I view the Lamb in his own light, whom angels dimly see, and gaze, transported at the sight, through all eternity.
