I heard this hymn in church today. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before, but I fell in love with it. Perhaps it was the cultivation of a worship moment by the leader, or perhaps it was the Spirit moving in me as I sang these words, but I sang it awe and absolute wonder of the Lord. It was one of those moments in worhsip that you have occasionally, and when you have it, you absolutely cherish it, not wanting the moment to end.
These are the Words:
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just to live it Lord.
And when I’m doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.
I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just to live it Lord.
And when I’m doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I, too, love this hymn. It does put me in a wonderful, worshipful place. God’s blessings to you! Feel free to visit my site if you wish at http://www.phenomenaltruths.wordpress.com. Currently I am explaining to a Mormon what it means to be a Christian.
