“Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens” (Psalm 123:1). “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding... The LORD shall be thy confidence” (Proverbs 3:5,25). “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
I lift my eyes of faith to see
The
face of God, my faithful Savior,
And
find His eyes are fixed on me
With
His eternal love and favor.
Transported
to the throne of grace
Where
I am called to cast my care,
The
Lord in kindness shines His face,
And
I am drawn to worship there.
How
wondrous is this confidence
Which
I have found in Christ my Lord,
Since
He Himself is my Defense
And
He is also my Reward.
Though
now my vision is obscured
As
faith looks darkly through a glass,
I’m
resting on His faithful Word:
His
promises shall come to pass!
O
Savior, I am glad to lean
Upon
Your faithfulness each day
Instead
of circumstances seen
Which
otherwise would cause dismay.
O
Lord, that day is not so far
When
I shall gaze upon Your throne
With
sight that sees You as You are,
And
I shall know as I am known.
Then
face to face I shall behold
Your
matchless beauty, Christ my King!
Till
then my faith shall yet unfold
Your
wondrous love to which I cling.
