We Seek Thy Face

Lord Je­sus Christ

we seek Thy face;

Within the veil we bow the knee;

O let Thy glo­ry fill the place!

And bless us while we wait on Thee.

We thank Thee for the pre­cious blood

That purged our sins and brought us nigh;

All cleansed and sanc­ti­fied to God

Thy ho­ly name to mag­ni­fy.

Shut in with Thee far

far

ab­ove

The rest­less world that wars be­low;

We seek to learn and prove Thy love

Thy wis­dom and Thy grace to know.

The brow that once with thorns was bound

Thy hands

Thy side

we fain would see;

Draw near

Lord Je­sus

glo­ry crowned

And bless us while we wait on Thee.
