Isaiah xxxiii. 17

Thine eyes shall see ! Yes, thine, who, blind ere while,
Now trembling towards the new-found light dost flee,
Leave doubting, and look up with trustful smile —
Thine eyes shall see !

Thine eyes shall see ! Not in some dream Elysian,
Not in thy fancy, glowing though it be,
Not e'en in faith, but in unveiled vision,
Thine eyes shall see !

Thine eyes shall see ! Not on thyself depend
God's promises, the faithful, firm, and free ;
Ere they shall fail, earth, heaven itself, must end :
Thine eyes shall see !

Thine eyes shall see ! Not in a swift glance cast,
Gleaning one ray to brighten memory,
But while a glad eternity shall last,
Thine eyes shall see !

Thine eyes shall see the King ! The very same
Whose love shone forth upon the curseful tree,
Who bore thy guilt, who calleth thee by name ;
Thine eyes shall see !

Thine eyes shall see the King! the mighty One,
The many-crowned, the Light-enrobed ; and He
Shall bid thee share the kingdom He hath won,
Thine eyes shall see !

And in His beauty ! Stay thee, mortal song,
The' altogether lovely' One must be
Unspeakable in glory, — yet ere long
Thine eyes shall see !

Yes ! though the land be' very far' away,
A step, a moment, ends the toil for thee ;
Then, changing grief for gladness, night for day.
Thine eyes shall see !

: My God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.'
