 1 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
 
 2 

Dawn and sunset, star and moonlight,

I can see in paradise,

But while here on earth His mercy

For my blindness will suffice.
 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
 
 3 

I no more would be delivered

From my thorn, but look for grace,

While within the veil His glory

Shineth brightly on my face.
 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
 
 4 

In the deep dark night, His beauty

I by faith, not sight, may trace;

He was ridiculed and hated,

Yet I see His glorious face.
 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
 
 5 

Sun and moonlight far surpassing,

Clouds and Milky Way o'erspread,

Is the glory all transcending

Shining from His thorn-crowned head.
 

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.
