The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration ‎#549

549. Face to Face

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 I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by.

2 Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkling veil between;
But a blessed day is coming
When His glory shall be seen. [Refrain]

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]

4 Face to face - O blissful moment!
Face to face - to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so. [Refrain]
