Hymn 270 — And shall we see Thy face,
| 270 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | S.M. |
| 1 |
And shall we see Thy face, And hear Thy heav'nly voice, Well known to us in present grace? Well may our hearts rejoice! | |
| 2 |
With Thee in garments white, Lord Jesus, we shall walk; And, spotless in that heav'nly light, Of all Thy suff'rings talk. | |
| 3 |
Close to Thy trusted side, In fellowship divine; No cloud, no distance, e'er shall hide Glories that then shall shine. | |
| 4 |
Fruit of Thy boundless love, That gave Thyself for us; For ever we shall with Thee prove That Thou still lovest thus. | |
| 5 |
And we love Thee, blest Lord, E'en now, though feeble here; Thy sorrow and Thy cross record What makes us know Thee near. | |
| 6 |
We wait to see Thee, Lord; Yet now within our hearts Thou dwell'st in love that doth afford The joy that love imparts. | |
| 7 |
Yet still we wait for Thee, To see thee as Thou art; Be with Thee, like Thee, Lord, and free To love with all our heart. | |
