That Man among the sons of men

Verse 1
That Man among the sons of men
With eyes of flesh we have not seen,
And yet believe on Him,
That Man Jehovah’s Fellow own,
The Father’s co-eternal Son,
Almighty and supreme.

Verse 2
Superior happiness we prove,
While Him, not having seen, we love,
Sure of our sins forgiven,
Eternal life in faith we feel,
The extasies unspeakable
The glorious joys of heaven.
