We know he won’t deceive us,

And fill our souls with peace.
We would behold his beauty,
And run into his arms
And learn the Christian’s duty,
Amidst those blessed charms.
4 O sir, we would see Jesus,
As Prophet, Priest, and King;
We hope he will receive us,
Though we are poor and mean:
For in the Holy Scriptures
This sacred truth we find,
He saves such wretched creatures,
Of meek and lowly mind.
5 O sir, we would see Jesus,
And at his feet adore,
His ways, although mysterious
We humbly would explore.

And how we may him know,
Where does this Rose of Sharon,
This spotless Lily grow?

And hearken to his voice,
