"BEHOLDING THE HOLY FACE." by Peter O'Donnell.
With longing eyes once more I turn to theeOh Holy Face, and light again I see;
Grant me O Lord the everlasting Grace
That I may ne'er forget Thy Holy Face;
Give me contrition, help me to amend,
O! Christ, Lord God of Hosts, be thou my Friend.
I humbly place myself within Thy hand,
To suffer, gladly, pain upon demand.
Never again shall crosses terrorize
This worthless body which I now despise,
Never again this body shall offend,
O! Christ, Lord God of Hosts, be thou my Friend.
My God! no pen or brush can ever trace
The matchless beauties of Thy glorious Face,
No science, art nor tongue can e'er express
Its wondrous Majesty and Holiness.
Grant me to see Thy Face until the end
O! Christ, Lord God of Hosts, be thou my Friend.
