Lyrics

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!

Only faint­ly now I see Him,
With the dark­ened veil be­tween,
But a bless­èd day is com­ing,
When His glo­ry shall be seen.

Refrain

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

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.
