The Mystery Hidden from the Eyes

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #405 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 First Line: The myst'ry hidden from the eyes Lyrics: 1 The myst'ry hidden from the eyes Of learned men and sages, God hath revealed us from the skies, In Scripture's holy pages, That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His people's Shield and Savior; One Essence, but three Persons. 2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The righteous seed adore Him; So named, so praised, He is the boast Of all who bow before Him; He's Abraham's and Isaac's God, And Jacob's whom He knoweth, The Lord of hosts, who ev'ry good, Both night and day, bestoweth; Who only worketh wonders. 3 The Father hath the Son begot, Firstborn of ev'ry creature; The Son took our weak flesh, but not Our sinfulness of nature; Both from the Father and the Son Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth From all eternity; yet none In might and pow'r exceedeth; All equal, co-eternal. 4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see, Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure! He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure; He made thee in His image blest, Was for thy pardon smitten, With true faith fills thee, through His grace Doth all thy crosses sweeten With His dear Word of promise. 5 Rise, then, to Him the Ever-blest, And learn to know Him rightly; Such knowledge can alone bring rest, And make thy soul burn brightly With the pure flame of holy love, Which cheers thy course to heaven; For God will show thee things above, Which here 'tis only given To hear of, and see darkly. 6 O Prince of Might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven; To ev'ry sinner here below Thy saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And sinful eyes enlighten, And turn Thou everything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 7 Grant this, that we, Thy people, may All reach the heav'nly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye 'Mid all the blest immortals: That Thou, O Lord, art King alone, Above all gods whatever, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people's Shield and Savior, One Essence, but three Persons!

He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure: He made thee in His image, was For thy offences smitten, With true faith fill thee, through His grace Doth all thy crosses sweeten With His dear word of promise. 5 Rise, then, to Him, the Ever-blest, And learn to know Him rightly; Such knowledge can alone bring rest, And make thy soul burn brightly With the pure flame of holy love, Which cheers thy course to heaven; For God will show thee things above, Which here 'tis only given To hear of, and see darkly. 6 But woe to the ungodly race In willful blindness living, Rejecting God and His dear grace, Their heart to creatures giving. On them, alas! the hellish gates Ere long will close forever; For him whom God rejects and hates God will reject and sever From His eternal kingdom. 7 O Prince of might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven; To every sinner here below Thy saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou everything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we Thy people may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye 'Mid all the blest immortals: That Thou, O Lord, art King alone, Above all gods whatever, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people's Shield and Saviour, One Essence, but three Persons!
