A glory in the word we find

1

A glory in the word we findWhen grace restores our sight;But sin has darkened all the mind,And vailed the heavenly light.

2

When God's own Spirit clears our view,How bright the doctrines shine!Their holy fruits and sweetness showThe author is divine.

3

How blest are we, with open faceTo view thy glory, Lord,And all thy image here to trace,Reflected in thy word!

4

O teach us, as we look, to growIn holiness and love,That we may long to see and knowThy glorious face above.
