The Face of God

At last God shows His face to us
In Jesus who is lifted high
And looks upon our earthly dust
As to our suffering He draws nigh.

Then through His suffering face we see
The truth with Him He always brings
That with Him in His grave we’ll be
And rise with Him in Eden’s spring.

For Eden’s long, dark winter’s past
As light of dawn reveals a gate,
And we know exile here won’t last;
We have been freed from Devil’s hate.

Now perfect love will hate cast out
As hate is crucified and dies
And sin in us within, without,
Can now in His grave with Him lie.

Arising with Him we can go
Through gate to Eden now made new
As we within its truth will know
And we can Jesus’ glory view.
