1.    One thing have I desired, O lord,
       That will I seek O God,
       That I may see Thee face to face
       And serve Thee filled with grace;
       Grant me Thy pow’r, O God of love,
       With glory from above;
       I pray that I shall ever be
       Lord, wholly lost in Thee.

              CHORUS
       O, let me see, Lord, let me see
       Thy face, yes, that’s my plea;
       Thy face alone
       Dear Lord, I along to see.

2.    Tho’ trials may afflict me sore,
       To Thee my heart I pour;
       Keep me from snares and evil ways,
       Thou art my Hiding Place.
       Thou knowest Lord I trust in Thee
       Hide not Thy face from me;
       For grace I ask, for that I plead,
       More grace in time of need.

3.    Lord, help me walk in love, I pray
       And please Thee day by day;
       And make me spotless, pure and true
       In whate’er I may do.
       Bid self and sin from me depart
       And rule Thou in my heart,
       Wilt Thou, O Spirit, me refine,
       And cause my life to shine?

4.    Renew my mind to know Thy will,
       Thy counsels to fulfil;
       Remove whate’er is wrong in me,
       That I may be like Thee.
       Lord, search my thoughts and try my heart,
       Cleanse me from every spot;
       Oh, more of love, still more I pray,
       For love wins all the way.

5.    Oh, whom have I in heav’n but Thee?
       None else to hear my plea ;
       On earth I’ve none beside Thee, Lord,    
       For Thou art mine, O God !
       I’m Thine, O Lord, and all that’s mine,
       With joy I now resign;
       Be Thou my Shepherd, Guide and friend,
       And lead me to the end.
