Let Me See Thy Face and Die<\/p>\n

1) To Thee, great God of love! I bow,
\nAnd prostrate in Thy sight adore;
\nBy faith I see Thee passing now;
\nI have, but still I ask for more,
\nA glimpse of love cannot suffice,
\nMy soul for all Thy presence cries.
\nI cannot see Thy face, and live,
\nThen let me see Thy face, and die!<\/p>\n

2) Moses Thy backward parts might view,
\nBut not a perfect sight obtain;
\nThe gospel doth Thy fulness show
\nTo us, by the commandment slain;
\nThe dead to sin shall find the grace
\nThe pure in heart shall see Thy face.
\nI cannot see Thy face, and live,
\nThen let me see Thy face, and die!<\/p>\n

3) Surrounded by the saints of old,
\nWe now by faith approach to Thee
\nShall all with open face behold
\nIn Christ the glorious Deity;
\nShall see, and put the Godhead on,
\nThe nature of Thy sinless Son.
\nI cannot see Thy face, and live,
\nThen let me see Thy face, and die!<\/p>\n
