“Whom having not seen, ye love.” 1 Pet. 1. 8

1 Not with our mortal eyes
  Have we beheld the Lord;
  Yet we rejoice to hear his name,
  And love him in his word.

2 On earth we want the sight
  Of our Redeemer’s face;
  Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
  To dwell upon thy grace.

3 And when we taste thy love,
  Our joys divinely grow
  Unspeakable, like those above,
  And heaven begins below.
