67. Lord Jesus Christ, We Seek Thy Face

Verse 1

Lord Jesus Christ, we seek Thy face;

Within the veil we bow the knee;

Oh, let Thy glory fill the place,

And bless us while we wait on Thee.

 

Verse 2

We thank Thee for the precious blood

That purged our sins and brought us nigh;

All cleansed and sanctified to God,

Thy holy name we magnify.

 

Verse 3

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.

 

Verse 4

Thy brow that once with thorns was bound,

Thy hands, Thy side, we long to view;

Draw near, Lord Jesus, glory-crowned,

And bless us while we wait on Thee.
