And We Shall See Thy Face

Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure. 1 John 3:2,3

Then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17

  1. 1 John 3:2,3, Revelation 22:4And we shall see Thy face,

    1 Thessalonians 4:16, John 5:25And hear Thy heav'nly voice,

    John 10:4, 2 Corinthians 8:9Well known to us in present grace?

    Philippians 4:4,5, 2 Corinthians 7:13Well may our hearts rejoice!

  2. Revelation 3:4, Revelation 4:4With Thee in garments white,

    Revelation 3:4Lord Jesus, we shall walk;

    Revelation 19:7,8, Revelation 3:21And, spotless in that heav'nly light,

    John 9:30,31, Revelation 5:6Of all Thy suff'rings talk.

  3. 1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 14:3Close to Thy trusted side,

    John 14:3, 1 Thessalonians 5:10In fellowship divine;

    1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:23No cloud, no distance, e'er shall hide

    Revelation 21:23, 2 Thessalonians 3:13Glories that then shall shine.

  4. John 12:24, Ephesians 3:19Fruit of Thy boundless love,

    Ephesians 5:25, 1 Thessalonians 5:10That gave Thyself for us;

    Titus 2:4, 1 Thessalonians 4:17For ever we shall with Thee prove

    Ephesians 5:25, John 13:1That Thou still lovest thus.

  5. 1 John 4:19, John 14:23And we love Thee, blest Lord,

    Luke 17:10, 1 Corinthians 13:12E'en now, though feeble here;

    Hebrews 2:9, Hebrews 12:2Thy sorrow and Thy cross record

    Hebrews 2:9, Philippians 4:5What makes us know Thee near.

  6. 1 John 3:2,3, James 5:7,8We wait to see Thee, Lord;

    1 John 3:2,3, Ephesians 3:17Yet now within our hearts

    John 15:9, Ephesians 3:17Thou dwell'st in love that doth afford

    John 17:26, Philippians 4:4The joy that love imparts.

  7. 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:5Yet still we wait for Thee,

    1 John 3:2, Revelation 22:4To see Thee as Thou art;

    1 John 3:2,3, Romans 8:29Be with Thee, like Thee, Lord, and free

    John 14:21,23, 1 John 4:19To love with all our heart.
