Hymn 53
If I but knew Thee as Thou art
If I but knew Thee as Thou art,
O loveliness unknown.
With what desire, O Lord, my heart
Would claim Thee for its own.
Thy glory would my shame conceal,
Thy purity my dross:
I should rejoice with Thee to feel
The sorrow of the cross.
But I am dull and blind, O Lord,
Unapt of Thee to learn;
Thee I but dimly in Thy word,
As in a glass, discern.
With faith's warm hnger, through the veil,
I seek to touch Thy hand:
I feel the imprint of the nail
And partly understand.
But, ah, my lonely spirit tires
Of knowing Thee in part.
O Jesus, how my soul desires
To see Thee as Thou art!
