Before His Face
We cannot see beyond the door,
We know not what He has in store
For us.
We can but bow our hearts and pray
For strength to serve Him day by day—
And work and trust.
Pain, dread, and doubt do us pursue:
We wonder what He has in view
For us.
And then by faith we pierce the haze
And on His face one moment gaze—
And love and trust.
We blaze our trail through desert sand,
We know there is a better land
For us.
Its fields and flowers we cannot see,
But Jesus promised it, and we
Just pray and trust.
One day we'll reach that mountain height
And see the land that's ours by right
Through grace;
Then we will praise for desert sands,
For blinded trails and barren lands
Before His face.
