Only by the Eyes of Faith

Tis only by the eyes of faith,
That God wouldst ope the door,
His healing hand and soft command,
The succour we adore.

Tis only for the pure of heart,
Who hearken to the Christ,
Who know His voice the then rejoice,
In what He sacrificed.

His soul above is as the sun,
A perfect, puissant flame,
Jesus lights the world in love,
Exalt His holy name!

The demons of the pit below,
Incredulous and wry,
His holy might and blinding light,
Sufficient that we cry.

Tis only faith wherein He shows,
The splendour of His hand,
His raiment’s flow as white as snow,
His house in heaven grand.

I can see the master’s coat,
His grace is bright below,
Although we dwell in hell remote,
His person steals the show.

The Christ! The Christ is risen high!
Up to the father’s house,
His soul installed with all enthralled,
The church His winsome spouse.

Gather up thy prayers anon,
And sing to Him for joy,
For heaven’s King has gifts to bring,
And blessings to deploy.

By faith alone, and tested true,
The Christ is ours to see,
His home adorned in astral blue,
With love His ministry…
