His Face They Will See

Gospel of glory

Illumines the blind;

Out of the darkness

God’s light brightly shines;

Image of God come

Enlighten our heart;

Face of Christ Jesus

God’s glory impart.

With faces open

The Lord Spirit see;

As glass reflecting

His likeness bear we;

Glory to glory—

We’re being transformed;

To the same image

We’ll soon be conformed.

What love the Father

Has given to us;

Children of God have

Such hope glorious;

At His appearing—

Most surely shall we

See Him as He is

And like Him we’ll be.

Blessing eternal

For God’s own redeemed;

He and the Lamb as

The light on them beam;

His slaves will serve Him

No curse will there be;

His name upon them

His face they will see.

Grant us

O God

to

Be pure in our heart;

That we may see You

And never depart;

Face to face always

With You we’ll remain;

Joy of Your presence

Forever we’ll gain.
