O that I could, in every place, By faith behold Jehovah's face; My strict Observer see Present, my heart and reins to try And feel the influence of His eye For ever fixed on me! Discerning Thee, my Savior, stand My Advocate at God's right hand, I never shall remove; I cannot fall, upheld by Thee, Or sin against the majesty Of omnipresent Love. Now, Savior, now appear, appear, And let me always see Thee near, And know as I am known: My spirit to Thyself unite, And bear me through a sea of light To that eternal throne.
