I do not ful­ly com­pre­hend
The mer­cy shown to me;
I on­ly know a gra­cious friend
Has brought my blind­ness to an end;
And now, thro’ Him, I see,
And now, thro’ Him, I see.

Refrain

So blind was I, but now I see,
And that’s enough for me;
So blind was I, but now I see,
And that’s enough for me.

So dark it was be­fore He came
And set my soul aglow;
He kin­dled there a sac­red flame,
And tho’ I scarce­ly know His name,
He loves me—this I know,
He loves me—this I know.

Refrain

I do not know how it was done,
How He has made me whole;
I only know the night is gone,
And day eter­nal has be­gun
Within my cloud­ed soul,
Within my cloud­ed soul.

Refrain

I do not ask to know the way
He did His work of grace,
So long as He has sent the ray,
By which my spir­it can sur­vey
The beau­ty of His face,
The beau­ty of His face.

Refrain
