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.

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.

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.

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.
