Lord Jesus Christ, We Seek Your Face

Music by Thomas Hastings, words by Alexander Stewart


Lord Jesus Christ, we seek Your face;
Within the veil we bow to You;
Oh, let Your glory fill the place!
And bless us while we wait on You.

We thank You for the precious blood
That purged our sins and brought us nigh;
All cleansed and sanctified to God,
Your holy name to magnify.

Shut in with You far, far, above
The restless world that wars below;
We seek to learn and prove Your love,
Your wisdom and Your grace to know.

The brow that once with thorns was bound,
Your hands, Your side, we gladly view;
Draw near, Lord Jesus, glory crowned,
And bless us while we wait on You.
