O soul-inspiring story—
God’s majesty and grace
In lustrous strokes of glory
Deep-carved in Jesus’ face!
Hearts rapt in contemplation
Of Godhead’s Image bright,
Break forth in adoration,
In wonder and delight!

There Manhood, all perfection,
And Godhead-fulness shine;
God’s love and Man’s affection,
The human, the divine;
A life, a death, transcendent,
Revealing God as love:
Here, lowly Man, dependent—
God over all, above!

Unsullied blaze of glory!
O ever-radiant Face!
Thy rich, unfathomed story
Transfigures us in grace!
Made like Thee, soon, completely,
With love-lit eyes we’ll scan
God’s face unveiled so sweetly
In Thine, Thou Son of man!

Precious words, but perhaps this hymn needs a new melody, one that brings us into the deeper considerations of these longing expressions.
