In the dear person of his Son,
The Father stands revealed;
And he who truly knows the one,
The other has beheld.
In Christ as in a glass we see,
Unawed and undismayed,
The glories of the Deity,
Transcendently displayed.
Here mingled beams of truth and grace,
In all their beauty shine;
Angels and saints enraptured trace
The vision so divine.
Here would I fix my wondering eyes,
With ever new delight;
Compared with Christ, the brightest skies
Are bur a darksome night.
