Father, to seek Thy face

Verse 1

Father, to seek Thy face Thy children now draw near; Before the throne of grace With boldness to appear; We plead His name, His precious blood, Who loved and made us priests to God.

Verse 2

No more we shun the light, No more Thy presence fear; With Christ, our sole delight, Before Thee we appear; Our great High Priest for us is there, And He presents our praise and prayer.

Verse 3

No pow'r have we to praise Thy name, O God of love; Untill [sic] Thy Spirit raise Our thoughts and hearts above; His grace avails in all our need, May He our priestly worship lead!

Verse 4

Lord, give us faith to plead Thy true and faithful Word; Grace for all mankind's need, Thy help to all afford; Thy promises in Christ are yea, In Him Amen! to endless day. Amen.
