MINE EYES ARE UNTO THEE, MY GOD

Mine eyes are unto Thee, my God
My soul on Thee doth wait,
My hope is in Thy faithful word,
And in Thy love so great.

Thy promise true my faith receives
And claims it for its own;
My trusting heart with joy believes
The covenant-keeping One.

What if Thy love impose a task
Too hard for me to scan?
I will not question it, nor ask
The meaning of Thy plan.

O Lord, I only ask for grace
To work it out with Thee;
And as in faith each step I take
I’ll more its beauty see.

Its rich unfoldings on my soul
Each day shall burst anew,
Till glory, bright and endless, dawns
Upon my ransomed view.

Till then. O keep me safely, Lord,
Full trusting only Thee,
Till that blest, happy moment come,
When, Lord, Thy face I’ll see.
