Text:Sight through a glass, and face to face

II.CXLV. 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.
