|
<p>We saw Thee not when Thou didst come<br>
|
|
To this poor world of sin and death;<br>
|
|
Nor yet beheld Thy cottage home,<br>
|
|
In that despisèd Nazareth.<br>
|
|
But we believe Thy footsteps trod<br>
|
|
Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God.<br>
|
|
But we believe Thy footsteps trod<br>
|
|
Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God.</p>
|
|
<p>We saw Thee not when lifted high,<br>
|
|
Amid that wild and savage crew;<br>
|
|
Nor heard we that imploring cry,<br>
|
|
“Forgive, they know not what they do!”<br>
|
|
But we believe the deed was done,<br>
|
|
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.<br>
|
|
But we believe the deed was done,<br>
|
|
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.</p>
|
|
<p>We gazed not in the open tomb,<br>
|
|
Where once Thy mangled body lay;<br>
|
|
Nor saw Thee in that “upper room,”<br>
|
|
Nor met Thee on the open way.<br>
|
|
But we believe that angels said,<br>
|
|
“Why seek the living with the dead?”<br>
|
|
But we believe that angels said,<br>
|
|
“Why seek the living with the dead?”</p>
|
|
<p>We walked not with the chosen few,<br>
|
|
Who saw Thee from the earth ascend;<br>
|
|
Who raised to heav’n their wondering view,<br>
|
|
Then low to earth all prostrate bend;<br>
|
|
But we believe that human eyes<br>
|
|
Beheld that journey to the skies;<br>
|
|
But we believe that human eyes<br>
|
|
Beheld that journey to the skies.</p>
