    Text

    No man has seen His face,
    And yet, we know God lives;
    For man was in His image made,
    And we reflect His Grace.

    No man has felt His touch,
    Except the ones of old;
    And still we feel it ev’rywhere,
    As in the scriptures told.

    No man has heard His voice,
    Yet we cannot ignore
    The sound of Spring:
    The song of birds,
    Who in His love rejoice.

    No man has seen His face,
    And yet our Saviour lives;
    His mercy falls in ev’ry man,
    To all He freely gives.
    His mercy falls in ev’ry man,
    To all He freely gives.
