Forty Days Thy Seer of Old (EN 4547)

EN 4547 Forty Days Thy Seer of Old

Acts.1.3

Versi Version 1

1

Forty days Thy seer of old

Communed with Thee, O Most High;

Fain Thy glories to behold

And Thy glory passing by.

2

In the rocky cleft he bowed;

Thou, as mortal gaze might bear,

Part revealed and part in cloud,

Didst Thy secret Name declare.

3

Forth days of Easter-tide

Thou didst commune with Thine own;

Now by glimpses, Lord, descried,

Handled now and proved and known;

4

Known, most Merciful, yet veiled;

Else before the awful sight

Surely heart and flesh had failed,

Smitten with exceeding light.

5

Risen Master, fain would we,

Sharing those unearthly days,

Morn and eve, on shore and sea,

Watch Thy movements, mark Thy ways;

6

Catch by faith each glad surprise

Of Thy footstep drawing nigh,

Hear Thy sudden greeting rise—

“Peace be to you! It is I”;

7

Secrets of Thy kingdom learn,

Read the visions open spread,

Feel Thy Word within us burn,

Know Thee in the broken bread.

8

So Thy glory’s skirts beside

Gently led from grace to grace,

We Thy coming may abide,

And adore Thee face to face.
