6 Verses Grace In Trials

Verse 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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

Dawn and sunset, star and moonlight, I can see in paradise, But while here on earth His mercy For my blindness will suffice.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Sun and moonlight far surpassing, Clouds and Milky Way o'erspread, Is the glory all transcending Shining from His thorn-crowned head.
