246 It was a glimpse of truths divine

Unto my spirit given,

Illumined by a ray of light

That shone direct from Heaven!

I knew there was a God on high

By whom all things were made;

I saw His wisdom and His power

In all His works displayed.

But most throughout the moral world

I saw His glory shine;

I saw His wisdom infinite,

His mercy all divine.

Deep secrets of His Providence

In darkness long concealed,

Were brought to my delighted eyes

And graciously revealed.

And while I wondered and adored

His wisdom so divine,

I did not tremble at His power—

I felt that God was mine.

I knew that my Redeemer lived,

I did not fear to die;

I felt that I should rise again

To immortality.
