Misc Praise Songs – Show Me Thy Face One Transient Gleam (Guitar)

     Em     C          G         D
[tab]   G    Am    D
Of loveliness divine,

    C             G        D
And I shall never think or dream

    G     Am       Em
Of other love save thine;

    G      D                 G
All lesser light will darken quite,

     G    C       D
All lower glories wane,

    Em           G          D
The beautiful of earth will scarce

     G     Am   Em
Seem beautiful again.

     Em     C          G         D
Show me Thy face, my faith and love

       G         Am    D
Shall henceforth fixed be

    C                  G        D
And nothing here have power to move

    G     Am   Em
My soul's serenity

    G         D                 G
My life shall seem a trance, a dream,

     G    C        D
And all I feel and see

 Em            G    D
Illusive, visionary Thou

    G    Am  Em
The one reality

     Em     C       G        D
Show me thy face, I shall forget

     G    Am      D
The weary days of yore,

    C                  G      D
The fretting ghosts of vain regret

      G        Am      Em
Shall haunt my soul no more.

    G                    D      G
All doubts and fears for future years

     G    C       D
In quiet trust subside,

    Em                  G        D
And naught but blest content and calm

  G       Am     Em
Within my breast abide.

     Em     C          G         D
Show me thy face, the heaviest cross

     G         Am       D
Will then seem light to bear,

      C               G     D
There will be gain in every loss,

    G          Am    Em
And peace with every care.

     G                   D          G
With such light feet the years will fleet,

     G       C        D
Life seem as brief as blest,

     Em             G      D
Till I have laid my burden down,

    G       Am   Em
And entered into rest.
