Lyrics
Verse 1
We saw Thee not when Thou didst come To this poor world of sin and death; Nor yet beheld Thy cottage home In that despised Nazareth; But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God: But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God.
Verse 2
We saw Thee not when lifted high Amid that wild and savage crew; Nor heard we that imploring cry, "Forgive, they know not what they do!" But we believe the deed was done That shook the earth and veiled the sun; But we believe the deed was done That shook the earth and veiled the sun.
Verse 3
We gazed not in the open tomb Where once thy mangled body lay; Nor saw thee in the upper room, Nor met thee on the open way; But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?"
Verse 4
We walked not with the chosen few Who saw thee from the earth ascend; Who raised to heav'n their wondering view, Then low to earth all prostrate bend; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies.
