Text:Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face

CXXIII. Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face

1 I love the Windows of thy Grace,
Thro' which my Lord is seen,
And long to meet my Saviour's Face
Without a Glass between.

2 O that the happy Hour were come
To change my Faith to Sight!
I shall behold my Lord at Home
In a diviner Light.

3 Haste, my Beloved, and remove
These interposing Days;
Then shall my Passions all be Love,
And all my Pow'rs be Praise.
