Not with Our Mortal Eyes

Verse 1

Not with our mortal eyes
Have we beheld the Lord,
Yet we rejoice to hear his Name,
And love him in his word.

Verse 2

On earth we want the sight
Of our Redeemer’s face,
Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
To dwell upon thy grace.

Verse 3

And when we taste thy love,
Our joys divinely grow
Unspeakable, like those above,
And heaven begins below.
