861. Face to Face

1. Face to face with Christ my Saviour,
Face to face what will it be?
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me.

Chorus:
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!

2. Only faintly now, I see Him,
With the dark'ning veil between,
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen. [Chorus]

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! [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
