Religion

O Saviour touch mine eyes again;
Heal'd by the eye-salve of Thy grace,
I then shall see both God and man,
Express'd in my Redeemer's face,
And comprehend the mystery,
And all things know by knowing Thee.

My head anoint and purify
That Thee I may behold below
With spiritual discerning eye
Thy works. Thy will, Thy people know,
And look the whole creation through
Till Thee I in Thy glory view.
