Here you will find the Poem Sir, We Would See Jesus of poet Frances Ellen Watkins
We would see Jesus; earth is grand, Flowing out from her Creator's hand. Like one who tracks his steps with light, His footsteps ever greet our sight; The earth below, the sky above, Are full of tokens of his love; ?*'' . But 'mid the fairest scenes we've sighed - Our hearts are still unsatisfied. We would see Jesus; proud and high Temples and domes have met our eye. We've gazed upon the glorious thought, By earnest hands in marble wrought, And listened where the flying feet Beat time to music, soft and sweet; But bow'rs of ease, and halls of pride, Our yearning hearts ne'er satisfied. We would see Jesus; we have heard Tidings our inmost souls have stirred, How, from their chambers full of night, The darkened eyes receive the light; How, at the music of his voice, The lame do leap, the dumb rejoice. Anxious we'll wait until we've seen The good and gracious Nazarene.
