WITH glorious clouds encompassed round,
   Whom angels dimly see,
May God, th’Unsearchable, be found?
    Will He appear to me?
 
2  Would He forsake His throne above,
    Himself to us impart?
Come, teach us from Thy Word of love,
    And move in every heart!
 
3  In manifested love explain
    Thy wonderful design,
That brought the suffering Son of Man,
    To shed His blood divine.
 
4  Didst Thou not in our flesh appear,
    And live and die below,
That we may now perceive Thee near,
    And our Redeemer know?
 
5  Come now, and to our souls reveal
    That dear disfigured face,
The wounds which all my sorrows heal,
    The heights and depths of grace.
 
6  O Saviour, in Thy person show,
    Our Sovereign crucified!
And then the pardoning God we’ll know,
    And feel Thy blood applied.
 
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
