Hymn 165: Father! reveal Thy Son in me

HYMN CLXV.

Father! reveal Thy Son in me, To my soul's eye, unclouded; The fulness of the Deity, In mortal semblance shrouded, When, for a Name o'er every Name, He bore the Cross, despised the shame, And rose--the World's Redeemer.

Him then as mine may I confess, With all my powers adore Him, And, as the Lord my , Most humbly walk before Him, Hail Him, mine Advocate, on high, Extol His Priesthood, and rely Upon His sole .

All things for Him may I forsake; In poverty and weakness, His gentle burthen on me take, And wear His yoke with ; So shall I find in labour rest, In suffering, peace,--of Christ possess'd In me the hope of glory.
