Thou lovely Source
of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore;
Unveil Thy beauties
to my sight,
That I may love Thee
more.
Thy glory
o’er creation
shines;
But in Thy sacred
Word,
I read in fairer,
brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying
Lord.
’Tis here,
whene’er my comforts
droop,
And sins and sorrows
rise,
Thy love with
cheerful beams of
hope,
My fainting heart
supplies.
Jesus, my Lord,
my Life, my Light,
O come with blissful
ray;
Break radiant
through the shades
of night,
And chase my fears
away.
Then shall my
soul with rapture
trace
The wonders of Thy
love;
But the full glories
of Thy face
Are only known
above.
