Lord Jesus Christ We Seek Thy Face

Alexander Stewart • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 27:8

Verse 1

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.

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 to 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

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.
