HYMN 108 Christ unseen and beloved. 1 Peter 1:5.

Christ unseen and beloved.1 Pet.1:5.

Now with our mortal eyes

Have we beheld the Lord;

Yet we rejoice to hear his name,

And love him in his word.

On earth we want the sight

Of our Redeemer's face;

Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight

To dwell upon thy grace.

And when we taste thy love,

Our joys divinely grow

Unspeakable, like those above,

And heav'n begins below.
