Lord, when the Father
ne’er was known,
The Father came
through Thee below,
That we who lived in ignorance
Might through Thyself
the Father know.
But, Lord, when Thou
wast here on earth,
How scarce were those
Thyself who knew;
A veil there was
‘twixt Thee and them;
They crowded ‘round,
but saw not through.
Now as the Spirit
Thou hast come
E:’en as the Father came in Thee;
As we through Thee the Father know,
Now through the Spirit we know Thee.
Not with the flesh
Thou now art clothed-
Then must Thou walk with toil around;
But as the Spirit in our heart
Thou dost supply Thyself unbound.
Thou, Lord, the Father
once wast called,
But now.the Holy Spirit art;
The Spirit is Thine other form,
Thyself to dwell within our heart.
By knowing Thee as Spirit, Lord,
We realize Thy life’s outflow,
Thy glory and Thy character,
And all Thy being’s wonders know.
Praise to Thy Name
now floods our heart;
There is no one as dear as Thee;
For since we know how real Thou art,
No other one could lovelier be.
