By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s.
      1 O THOU whom fain my soul would love!
      Whom I would gladly die to know;
      This veil of unbelief remove,
      And show me, all thy goodness show;
      Jesus, thyself in me reveal,
      Tell me thy name, thy nature tell.

      2 Hast thou been with me, Lord, so long,
      Yet thee, my Lord, have I not known?
      I claim thee with a faltering tongue,
      I pray thee, in a feeble groan,
      Tell me, O tell me, who thou art,
      And speak thy name into my heart!

      3 If now thou talkest by the way
      With such an abject worm as me,
      Thy mystery of grace display;
      Open mine eyes that I may see,
      That I may understand thy word,
      And now cry out - "It is the Lord!"
