English poem
Mr. WATTS'S Hymns, HYMN 146
by Elizabeth Bury (?–1756)
O let me climb those higher Skies, Where Storms and Darkness never Rise? Where Christ displays his Power abroad, And Shines and Reigns Incarnate GOD.
Nor Earth, nor Seas, nor Sun, nor Stars, Nor Heaven his full Resemblance bears; His Beauties we can never trace, 'Till we behold him Face to Face.
