From Faith to Sight

Wm. Peck Smith • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 11:1

Verse 1

I love to wait at mercy’s gate, In lowly faith and pray’r; He hears my voice, and I rejoice To find my Saviour there.

Chorus

The mercy seat! by faith I meet My Lord who comes to me; But when the light breaks on my sight, His face my eyes will see.

Verse 2

No thought or sigh escapes His eye, He watches o’er my ways; My pray’r is heard, and at His word My mouth is filled with praise.

Chorus

The mercy seat! by faith I meet My Lord who comes to me; But when the light breaks on my sight, His face my eyes will see.

Verse 3

The mercy seat my soul will greet, In sunshine or in woe, Till life is fled, and I shall tread Beyond the Jordan’s flow.

Chorus

The mercy seat! by faith I meet My Lord who comes to me; But when the light breaks on my sight, His face my eyes will see.
