Face to Face
Text written in 1898 by Mrs. Frank A Breck (1855-1934)
Tune composed in 1898 by Grant Colfax Tullar (1869-1950)
Revelation 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
V. 1 Face to face with Christ my Savior
Face to face, what will it be,
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ, who died for me?
Refrain: Face to face shall I behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory
I shall see Him by and by!
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
V. 2 Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkening veil between,
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.
Refrain
V. 3 What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened,
And the dark things shall be plain!
Refrain
Revelation 1:5 ...and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,...
V. 4 Face to face! oh, blissful moment!
Face to face--to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, who loves me so.
Refrain
