143. To Look On His Face

1 Oh, how sweet is the tho’t that salvation has brought,
Which to memory ever will cling;
When my labors are done and the life crown is won,
I shall look on the face of my King!

Chorus:
To look on the face of my King!
What rapture the bliss it will bring!
Nothing else there will be which will satisfy me,
But to look on the face of my King.

2 How it comforts my soul when the trouble-waves roll,
And my heart has no carol to sing,
Just to think that some day, at the end of the way,
I shall look on the face of my King! [Chorus]

3 With the dear ones who wait at the beautiful gate,
I am longing His praises to sing;
But I long o’er and o’er and I long evermore,
Just to look on the face of my King. [Chorus]
