Face to Face

 Revelation 22:3-4 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 

[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.


1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.


At last, believers will see the face of Jesus. 


It is the highest objective for living. What divine satisfaction!


I can’t wait. 


Face To Face

_________________________


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? 


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!


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.


Carrie E, Breck   1898
