We Have Not Seen We Cannot See [WeHaveNotSeen #HaveNotSeen #WeCannotSee #CannotSee #HaveNotSeenCannotSee #WeHaveNotSeenWeCannotSee]

Song written by:
Original in English: John Mason Neale [J. M. Neale] (January 24, 1818, London, England, UK – August 6, 1866, East Grinstead, West Sussex, England, UK)

1
We have not seen we cannot see
The happy land above
From sin and death and suffering free
Where all is peace and love

2
We only see the path is long
By which we have to go
We only feel the foes are strong
Who seek to work us woe

3
We have not seen we cannot see
The cross our Master bore
With all its pains that we might be
The slaves of sin no more

4
We only think it hard to part
With every pleasant sin
And give to God a perfect heart
And make Him Lord within

5
We walk by faith and not by sight
And blessèd saint like thee
We sometimes doubt if faith tells right
Because we cannot see

6
Upon the promise we would lean
Thy doubting heart received
Blessèd are they that have not seen
And that have yet believed
