If I Could See His Face

By Mary H. Williams

MRS. MARY H. WILLIAMS
I READ of Peter at Christ's trial, As written in the Book— Of the crowing cock, the fierce denial, The Lord's reproachful look.
Were my dear Lord to look at me When I deny his name, If I his saddened face could see, How could I bear my shame!
I would not slight his wondrous grace, Or deem life's trials hard, If I could see his pitying face By cruel thorn-crown marred.
O may I see, and follow near, E'en unto Calvary! The path the Saviour traveled here Is glorified for me.
If his approval I may claim, When closed this earthly race, I then may bear the Father's name, And see my Saviour's face. Charles City, Iowa.
