230:O Lord, we long to see your face

Meter: | 8.8.8.8.8.8. Iambic |
O LORD, we long to see your face,
To know you risen from the grave;
But we have missed the joy and grace
Of seeing you, as others have.
Yet in your company we?ll wait
And we shall see you, soon or late.
2 O Lord, we do not know the way,
Nor clearly see the path ahead;
So often, therefore, we delay
And doubt your power to raise the dead.
Yet with you we will firmly stay;
You are the truth, the life, the way.
3 We find it hard, Lord, to believe;
All habit makes us want to prove;
We would with eye and hand perceive
The truth and person whom we love.
Yet, as in fellowship we meet,
You come yourself each one to greet.
4 You come to us, our God, our Lord;
You do not show your hands and side;
But faith has its more blest reward;
In love?s assurance we confide.
Now we believe, that we may know,
And in that knowledge daily grow.
To know you risen from the grave;
But we have missed the joy and grace
Of seeing you, as others have.
Yet in your company we?ll wait
And we shall see you, soon or late.
2 O Lord, we do not know the way,
Nor clearly see the path ahead;
So often, therefore, we delay
And doubt your power to raise the dead.
Yet with you we will firmly stay;
You are the truth, the life, the way.
3 We find it hard, Lord, to believe;
All habit makes us want to prove;
We would with eye and hand perceive
The truth and person whom we love.
Yet, as in fellowship we meet,
You come yourself each one to greet.
4 You come to us, our God, our Lord;
You do not show your hands and side;
But faith has its more blest reward;
In love?s assurance we confide.
Now we believe, that we may know,
And in that knowledge daily grow.
