Praying for Christ to be Revealed. 2 Cor. 4. 6

1 Amidst ten thousand anxious cares,
  The world and Satan’s deep-laid snares,
  This my incessant cry shall be,
  Jesus, reveal thyself to me.

2 When Sinai’s awful thunder rolled,
  And struck with terror all my soul,
  No gleam of comfort could I see,
  Till Jesus was revealed to me.

3 When by temptations sore oppressed,
  Distressful anguish fills my breast!
  All, all is grief and misery,
  Till Jesus is revealed to me.

4 When various lusts imperious rise,
  And my unguarded soul surprise;
  I’m captive led, nor can get free,
  Till Christ reveals himself to me.

5 When darkness, thick as beamless night,
  Hides the loved Saviour from my sight,
  Nothing but this my ardent plea,
  Jesus, reveal thyself to me.

6 ’Tis he dispels the dismal gloom;
  Gives light and gladness in its room;
  Then have I joy and liberty
  As Christ reveals himself to me.
