Lord Jesus Christ, we seek Thy face; Within the veil we bow the knee; Oh, let Thy glory fill the place, And bless us while we wait on Thee. |

We thank Thee for the precious blood That purged our sins and brought us nigh; All cleansed and sanctified to God, Thy holy name to magnify. |

Shut in with Thee far, far above The restless world that wars below; We seek to learn and prove Thy love, Thy wisdom and Thy grace to know. |

The brow that once with thorns was bound Thy hands, Thy side, we fain would see; Draw near, Lord Jesus, glory crowned, And bless us while we wait on Thee. |

I love this old hymn. We sang it often when I was growing up. But we used a different tune than either of the ones suggested. It came into my thoughts as I was sleeping and I woke with just a phrase. I haven't heard it in probably 30 years. I was so thankful to be able to find it. The words are so beautiful.
