Luke 24:16: Mine eyes are holden too

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Mine eyes are holden too:
Till open'd Lord, by Thee,
(Whom once imperfectly I knew,)
I neither know nor see:
Or if reveal'd Thou art.
Thou vanishes! away;
But when Thou purifiest my heart,
Thou wilt for ever stay.
