When I look to the horizon and I see the shadows fall,

When I look to the horizon and I see the shadows fall,

They mix there gently with a mystery I donít understand at all.

When I look into this mirror, to divide the dark and light

I see truth drawing ever nearer and it dawns upon my sight.

 

When we see things rightly When we apprehend the truth

And stilly, quietly its revealed what we must do

If you turn away unchanged then youíve never truly seen

You may recognize this right refrain youíll not see what it means!

 

Behold in the light of the unseenÝ Thereís a path by faith revealed.

More real than my most holy dream-Ý There in humility Iím healed.

 

In the dark and dusky autumn haze my eyes grow dim and weak

Though I strain and try to fix my gaze Iíve forgotten what I seek

I may not see eternity still I long for the taste of what will be

Touch the eyes of my blind heart that I may clearly see.

Your hidden holy righteousness as reality

 

Lord I may become confused by whatís before my eyes

Give me grace to ponder and in turn to realize

Lord help me then to reckon what is true!

I can trust your spirit to help me trust in You.

 

Give me eyes of faith I cannot see the light

Let me walk by grace though it is dark as night

As I seek your face my landscape becomes bright

When I walk by faith and not by sight!

 

Behold in the light of the unseenÝ Thereís a path by faith revealed.

More real than my most holy dream-Ý There in humility Iím healed.

 

In the dark and dusky autumn haze my eyes grow dim and weak

Though I strain and try to fix my gaze Iíve forgotten what I seek

I may not see eternity still I long for the taste of what will be

Touch the eyes of my blind heart that I may clearly see.

Your hidden holy righteousness as reality
