Classic Poem

To know the Christ of God,
The everlasting Son;
To know what He on earth,
For guilty man has done:
This is the first and last
Of all that's true and wise;
The circle that contains all light
Beneath, above, the skies.
Father, unseal my eyes,
Unveil my veiled heart,
Reveal this Christ to me!

The Christ, the Incarnate Son,
The Christ, the eternal Word;
The Christ, heaven's glorious King,
The Christ, earth's coming Lord.
The Christ, the sum of all
Jehovah's power and grace,
God's treasure-house of truth and love,
The brightness of his face.
Father, unseal my eyes,
Unveil my veiled heart,
Reveal this Christ to me!

The Christ who took man's flesh;
Who lived man's life below;
Who died man's death for man,—
The death of shame and woe.
The Christ who, from the Cross,
Descended to man's grave,
Then rose in victory and joy,
Mighty to bless and save!
Father, unseal my eyes,
Unveil my veiled heart,
Reveal this Christ to me!
