Sight Supreme and Sound Sublime

"Blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them" (Matthew 13:17).

Blessed are the eyes that see
Blessed are the ears that hear
The things foretold in prophecy
That God had promised would appear.

Many prophets have desired,
Many righteous men have longed,
To see fulfilled their word inspired
And to hear redemption's song.

Many are the truths sublime
Prophesied of Christ our Lord,
That came to pass in time,
And that we still look toward!

Praise God for the sight and sound
Of the Gospel of Christ that saves,
And the freedom that we have found
From the sin that no more enslaves!
