Seek the Face of the Lord

Seek the face of the Lord
And let patience possess your soul
There is glory to behold
That completes us whole

What does it mean to seek His face?
It is to know who He is
And what He has done for the human race

Drawing close through our faith and actions
It is to do as He asks
And to read His words and know His interactions

And while we may not see Him now
He is upon our countenance
And in His house covenants endow
For our eternal continuance

Let us bring our children
Unto the Lord above
Let Him be real to them
That they may feel His love

What do you see on my face?
Does it show that I love you?
When our eyes embrace
Can you see Christ's Light shine through?

With the Lord and through Him
We can do what we need to
As the windows of heavens open
Through the covenants we keep too

That Our Children Might See the Face of the Savior

D&C 101: 38
Seek the face of the Lord always,
That in patience ye may possess your souls,
and ye shall have eternal life

D&C 93:1
Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am.
