Lord Jesus Christ, we seek your face;
before your gracious throne we bow;
O let your glory fill this place
and bless us while we wait on you.
2. We thank you for the precious blood
that saved and seated us on high;
so, cleansed and sanctified to God,
your holy name we magnify.
3. Shut in with you, far, far above
the restless world that wars below,
we long to learn and prove your love,
your wisdom and your grace to know.
4. Your brow that once with thorns was bound,
your hands, your side we long to view,
draw near, Lord Jesus, glory-crowned,
and bless us while we wait on you.
