MY LORD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I cannot see
Last Line: My lord, my lord.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


I cannot see
Why men should turn from Thee,
My Lord, my Lord.

If they could only guess
Thy matchless loveliness,
The beauty of Thy face,
The richness of Thy grace
My Lord, my Lord.

If they could only see
Thee on the cruel tree.
Nor pain nor death was stayed
Till all our debt was paid,
My Lord, my Lord.

If they could only know
That heart which loves them so,
Their only thought would be
How they might come to Thee,
My Lord, my Lord.
