O God, my hope, my heavenly rest, My all of happiness below, Grant my importunate request, To me, to me, Thy goodness show; Thy beatific face display, The brightness of eternal day. Before my faith’s enlightened eyes, Make all Thy gracious goodness pass; Thy goodness is the sight I prize: might I see Thy smiling face: They nature in my soul proclaim, Reveal Thy love, Thy glorious name. —Charles Wesley
