526 Lord, Thou hast made Thyself to me 1. Lord, Thou hast made Thyself to me A living, bright reality, More present to faith's vision keen Than any earthly object seen; More dear, more intimately nigh Than e'en the closest earthly tie. 2. And Thou, blest vision of my soul, Hast made my broken nature whole; Hast purified my base desires, And kindled passion's holiest fires; My nature Thou hast lifted up, And filled me with a glorious hope. 3. Nearer and dearer still to me, Thou living, loving Savior be; Brighter the vision of Thy face, More charming still Thy words of grace; So, life shall be transformed to love, Thy grace and mercy more to prove.
