I Saw Him In Childhood

Author: Vilhelm Birkedahl Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #272 (1927) Meter: 12.12.12.12 First Line: I saw Him in childhood with eyes brightly beaming Lyrics: 1 I saw Him in childhood with eyes brightly beaming, At home in the hills where the sun-light was streaming; We play'd with the stars, on the clouds swiftly riding, And saw not the cross which the woodlands were hiding. 2 I saw Him in youth when my soul was unfolding, My spirit flew high when His glory beholding; He beckon'd my soul, and He fill'd me with gladness, His glory lent brightness to life's gloom and sadness. 3 I saw Him in manhood, when Adam resembling, My soul for His righteous judgment was trembling, When dimm'd were my eyes and my vision was darken'd, Since unto the tempter my spirit had harken'd. 4 First then I could call Him my Master and Savior, First then I could look on the cross as a favor, First then I could give Him my down broken spirit, In life and in death to rely on His merit. 5 Since then I have told Him, to Him I will hurry With weeping my face in His bosom to bury; Since then I have ask'd Him with mercy to guide me And in His pavilion securely to hide me. 6 To Him I will hasten, His name softly calling When broken and weary my house shall be falling; I'll greet Him with joy when my heart ceases beating, And unto His kingdom my spirit is fleeting.
