Wonderful grace song

I really love this song I heard years ago. 
I don't know who wrote it.


"What a morning it will be,
When I see You face to face.
Every trial and tribulation
Will be worth it in that moment of:

(Chorus)
Wonderful grace, wonderful grace, Jesus
Wonderful grace, wonderful grace
What a morning it will be!


What a morning it will be,
When I gaze into Your eyes.
Every tear and every sorrow
Will be wiped away in that moment of:

 (Chorus)

What a morning it will be,
When I hear You say my name.
All my fear and all my doubting

Will be washed away in that moment of:

(Chorus)

Excerpt from 23rd January's Streams in the Desert devotional

Streams in the Desert for 23rd January
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? (Psalms 10:1)

God is "a very present help in trouble." But He permits trouble to pursue us, as though He were indifferent to its overwhelming pressure, that we may be brought to the end of ourselves, and led to discover the treasure of darkness, the unmeasurable gains of tribulation.
We may be sure that He who permits the suffering is with us in it. It may be that we shall see Him only when the trial is passing; but we must dare to believe that He never leaves the crucible. Our eyes are holden; and we cannot behold Him whom our soul loveth. It is dark--the bandages blind us so that we cannot see the form of our High Priest; but He is there, deeply touched. Let us not rely on feeling, but on faith in His unswerving fidelity; and though we see Him not, let us talk to Him. Directly we begin to speak to Jesus, as being literally present, though His presence is veiled, there comes an answering voice which shows that He is in the shadow, keeping watch upon His own. Your Father is as near when you journey through the dark tunnel as when under the open heaven!
--Daily Devotional Commentary


The phrase "His unswerving fidelity" was what really caught my attention. Yes, our God is unswervingly faithful. Aren't you glad about that!?
