We believe

Hymnal: The Morning Star #12 (1877) First Line: We saw Thee not when Thou didst come Lyrics: 1 We saw Thee not when Thou didst come To this poor world of sin and death; Nor yet beheld Thy cottage home, In that despised Nazareth; Chorus: But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God; But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God. 2 We saw Thee not when lifted high, Amid that wild and savage crew; Nor heard we that imploring cry, "Forgive, they know not what they do!" Chorus: But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun; But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun. 3 We gazed not in the open tomb, Where once Thy mangled body lay; Nor saw Thee in that "upper room," Nor met Thee on the open way; Chorus: But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" 4 We walked not with the chosen few Who saw Thee from the earth ascend; Who raised to heaven their wond'ring view, Then low to earth all prostrate bend; Chorus: But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:13 Tune Title: [We saw Thee not when Thou didst come]
