- 1When, gracious Lord, when shall it be,
- That I shall find my all in thee!
- The fullness of thy promise prove,
- The seal of tine eternal love?
- 2A poor blind child I wander here,
- If haply I may feel thee near!
- O dark! dark! dark! I still must say
- Amid the blaze of gospel-day.
- 3Thee, only thee I fain would find,
- And cast the world and flesh behind:
- Thou, only thou to me be given,
- Of all thou hast in earth or heaven.
- 4When from the arm of flesh set free,
- Jesu, my soul shall fly to thee:
- Jesu, when I have lost my all,
- I shall upon thy bosom fall.
