Title: Great God, who hid from mortal sight

Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Great God, who hid from mortal sight 
 Great God, Who, hid from mortal sight, Dost dwell in unapproachèd light, Before Whose Throne with veilèd brow, Thy sinless Angels trembling bow. 
 A while in darkness here below We lie oppress’d with sin and woe; But soon the everlasting day Shall chase the night of gloom away;— 
 The day prepared for us by Thee; The day reserved for us to see;— A day but faintly imaged here By brightest sun at noontide clear. 
 To long, alas! it still delays, it lingers yet, that day of days; The flesh, with all its load of sin, Must perish, ere its joy we win. 
 Then from these earthly bonds set free The soul shall fly, o God to Thee; To see Thee, love Thee, And adore, her blissful task for evermore. 
 All bounteous Trinity! prepare Our souls Thy hidden joy to share, That our brief daytime, used aright. May issue in eternal light.
