Verse 1
What is that mysterious Name
Which faithful souls receive?
Ignorant alas, I am,
Till Thou thy Spirit give:
Fulness of the Deity,
Jesus, tell me Who Thou art,
Tell thy Father’s Name to me,
And write it on my heart.
Verse 2
Who my nature didst partake,
A sharer, Lord, of thine
Me, ev’n me vouchsafe to make
Thou Character divine,
All thy glorious goodness show,
And when Thou dost the veil remove,
Then, and not till then, I know,
That Thou, my God, art LOVE.
