William Cowper - Olney Hymn 33: Seeking The Beloved
Work rating: Low

To those who love the Lord I speak; 
Is my Beloved near? 
The Bridegroom of my soul I seek, 
Oh! when will He appear? 

Though once a man of grief and shame, 
Yet now He fills a throne, 
And bears the greatest, sweetest name, 
That earth or heaven have known. 

Grace flies before, and love attends 
His steps wheree`er he goes; 
Though none can see Him but His friends, 
And they were once his foes. 

He speaks; — obedient to His call 
Our warm affections move: 
Did He but shine alike on all, 
Then all alike would love. 

Then love in every heart would reign, 
And war would cease to roar; 
And cruel and bloodthirsty men 
Would thirst for blood no more. 

Such Jesus is, and such His grace; 
Oh, may He shine on you! 
And tell him, when you see His face, 
I long to see Him, too.
