Face To Face
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A beloved gospel hymn by Carrie E. Breck (c. 1898) expressing the Christian longing to see Jesus face to face in glory. It contrasts the present partial, veiled knowledge of Christ with the promised joy of beholding Him fully 'by and by.'
Verse 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 I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!
Verse 2
Only faintly now, I see Him,
With the darkling veil between,
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.
Chorus
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!
Verse 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
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!
Verse 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
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!
