Face to Face

Face to face with Christ my Savior,

Face to face—mine eyes shall see

When with rapture I behold Him,

Jesus Christ who died for me.

Face to face I shall behold Him,

With greater vision I will see

Face to face in all His glory,

To gaze on his grace eternally.

If I seek Him I will know Him

Even on this earthly plain

For the Spirit clearly shows Him

And the glory of His name

Seek His face with open eyes now

In His presence we’re undone

Face to face in His shekina

Face to face with God’s own Son.

Only faintly now I see Him

With the darkened veil between,

But a blessed day is coming

When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence,

When are banished grief and pain;

When the crooked ways are straightened

And the dark things shall be plain.

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.
