1 There are dreary hours when my heart is sad,
And the pathway I cannot trace;
But the shadows flee, when by faith I see,
Just a glimpse of my Saviour’s face.

Refrain:
Just a glimpse of my Saviour’s face,
Just a glimpse of my Saviour’s face;
How it lifts the load on the weary road!
Just a glimpse of my Saviour’s face.

2 There are days when hope seems about to die,
And the storm-clouds come on apace;
But the dread alarm turns to perfect calm,
With a glimpse of my Saviour’s face. [Refrain]

3 When the tempter comes and would lead astray,
Into sin and my soul disgrace;
Then the fight I win over ev’ry sin,
By a glimpse of my Saviour’s face. [Refrain]

4 When the loved of earth have been borne away,
And the world seems an empty space;
Then I lose my fear and I’m filled with cheer,
By a glimpse of my Saviour’s face. [Refrain]
