By blotting out my sin. Psa. 51:1 …According to thy lovingkindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Thou wilt the root remove. Matt. 15:13-24 He answered and said, every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up… Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind…both shall fall into the ditch.

I long to see thy face; Rev. 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
The first I prove below, I Cor. 13:12 For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
The last I die to know, I Cor. 13:12 …but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
