HYMN 145. (C. M.) Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face.

I

I love the windows of thy grace
Through which my Lord is seen,
And long to meet my Saviour's face
Without a glass between.

II

O that the happy hour were come
To change my faith to sight!
I shall behold my Lord at home
In a diviner light.

III

Haste, my beloved, and remove
These interposing days;
Then shall my passions all be love,
And all my powers be praise.
