HAVING SEEN THE WORLD'S FAIR BEAUTY
1. Having seen the
world's fair beauty,
Lord, I would be
blind once more,
Lest I lose the
loving Presence
And Delight I knew
before.
Refrain
Having seen the
world's fair beauty,
Lord, I would be
blind once more,
Lest I lose the
loving Presence
And Delight I knew
before.
2. Dawn and sunset,
star and moonlight,
I can see in
paradise,
But while here on
earth His mercy
For my blindness
will suffice.
3. I no more would
be delivered
From my thorn, but
look for grace,
While within the
veil His glory
Shineth brightly on
my face.
4. In the deep dark
night, His beauty
I by faith, not
sight, may trace;
He was ridiculed
and hated,
Yet I see His
glorious face.
5. Sun and
moonlight far surpassing
Clouds and Milky
Way o'erspread,
Is the glory all
transcending
Shining from His
thorn-crowned head.
