Whom Having Not Seen, I Love

A friend have I who’s ever near,
Who comforts me and stills each fear,
It is my Lord and Savior dear,
Whom, having not seen, I love.

Refrain

He’s gone to prepare a place
For me in His home above;
And I shall behold His face,
Whom, having not seen, I love.

In vain may fancy strive to trace
My Savior’s beauty and His grace;
More fair than I can dream, His face,
Whom, having not seen, I love.

Refrain

The precious hope of that bright day
Illumines all mine earthly way;
He’ll take me home with Him to stay,
Whom, having not seen, I love.

Refrain

With that glad meeting e’er in view,
My pilgrim journey I pursue,
And try His holy will to do,
Whom, having not seen, I love.

Refrain
