1 I do not fully comprehend
The mercy shown to me;
I only know a Gracious Friend
Has bro't my blindness to an end,
And now, thro' Him, I see,
And now, thro' Him, I see.

Chorus:
So blind was I, but now I see,
And that's enough for me;
So blind was I, but now I see,
And that's enough for me.

2 So dark it was before He came,
And set my soul aglow;
He kindled there a sacred flame,
And tho' I scarcely knew His name,
He loves me - this I know,
He loves me - this I know. [Chorus]

3 I do not know how it was done,
How He has made me whole;
I only know the night is gone
And day eternal has begun
Within my clouded soul,
Within my clouded soul. [Chorus]

4 I do not ask to know the way
He did His work of grace,
So long as He has sent the ray,
By which my spirit can survey
The beauty of His face,
The beauty of His face. [Chorus]
