1.
Godhead here in hiding
Whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows,
Shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at thy service
Low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder
At the God thou art.
2.
Seeing, touching, tasting
Are in thee deceived;
How says trusty hearing?
That shall be believed;
What God’s Son has told me,
Take for truth I do;
Truth himself speaks truly
Or there’s nothing true.
3.
On the cross thy Godhead
Made no sign to men;
Here thy very manhood
Steals from human ken:
Both are my confession,
Both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer
Of the dying thief.
4.
I am not like Thomas,
Wounds I cannot see,
But I plainly call thee
Lord and God as he:
This faith each day deeper
Be my holding of,
Daily make me harder
Hope and dearer love.
5.
O thou, our reminder
Of the Crucified,
Living Bread, the life of
Us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me, then;
Feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness
man was meant to find.
6.
Like what tender tales tell
Of the Pelican,
Bathe me, Jesus Lord, in
What thy bosom ran,
Blood that but one drop of
Has the pow’r to win
All the world forgiveness
Of its world of sin.
7.
Jesus, whom I look at
Shrouded here below,
I beseech thee, send me
What I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on thee
Face to face in light,
And be blest forever
With thy glory’s sight.
Amen.
Thank you!
