I want to séé,
the glory of my God.
Let not thy grace,
from me depart.
But let your mercy fill my heart.
Let me sing,
of Thy wondrous deeds,
my heavenly King.
May joy from my heart spring,
take away the bitter and sinful weeds.
This in sincerity my heart for pleads.
Yes, LORD let thy love be the rule,
by which I spend all my days.
Looking on all the ways,
by which my life your glory displays.
And most of all let the cross be the jewel,
in which I might humbly share even when it looks cruel.
Yes, Father to share in momentary affliction,
rather than yield to daily addiction.
That I might look up and see,
the glory to rest eternally in Theé.
Oh, Yes Father let it be,
Jesus Christ and Him alone that satisfies me.
