Jesus, These Eyes Have Never Seen
Verse 1
Jesus, these eyes have never seen,
That radiant form of Thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine.
That radiant form of Thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed 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.
Yet art Thou oft with me;
And earth hath ne’er so dear a spot,
As where I meet with Thee.
Verse 3
Like some bright dream that comes unsought,
When slumbers o’er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
When slumbers o’er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
Verse 4
Yet though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone,
I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
Must rest in faith alone,
I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
Palmer's hymn addresses faith in Christ without physical sight, emphasizing spiritual perception.
