No Man Has Seen His Face
Language: English
No man has seen His face, And yet, we know God lives; For man was in His image made, And we reflect His Grace. No man has felt His touch, Except the ones of old; And still we feel it ev’rywhere, As in the scriptures told. No man has heard His voice, Yet we cannot ignore The sound of Spring: The song of birds, Who in His love rejoice. No man has seen His face, And yet our Saviour lives; His mercy falls in ev’ry man, To all He freely gives. His mercy falls in ev’ry man, To all He freely gives.
