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. |

| 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. |
